Keynote Case Study: Corcentric: AI Was Coming For Procurement, Payments And Trucking.

In Orlando, I keynoted for Corcentric on how AI, automation, digital commerce and supply-chain intelligence are transforming procurement, accounts payable, freight and B2B operating models.

The keynote, “What Happens as Trucking and Supply Chains Are Impacted by AI?,” summed up the shift. AI was coming for procurement, payments and trucking.

Complex supply chains and payments are being disrupted by AI and automation, creating both risk and opportunity for B2B organizations.

Six trends are shaping that shift.

• AI-Driven Procurement. From spend analytics to supplier selection, AI is making procurement smarter, faster and more strategic.
• Autonomous AP + Payments. Intelligent systems are automating invoice processing, exception handling and payments — reducing costs and eliminating manual work.
• B2B Digital Marketplaces. More buyers and suppliers are transacting through digital marketplaces, expanding choice, increasing competition and simplifying procurement.
• Supply-Chain Visibility. Real-time data and AI-driven insights are giving organizations greater resilience, agility and control across the extended supply chain.
• Trucking + Logistics AI. AI is optimizing routes, capacity and freight matching — making logistics more efficient, predictive and sustainable.
• Workflow Automation. End-to-end automation is streamlining processes across procurement, finance and operations — freeing people to focus on higher-value work.

The future of B2B commerce is automated, intelligent, connected and fast.

The Orlando keynote connected three dots that Corcentric’s clients rarely see together: procurement, payments and trucking are all being rewritten by the same underlying AI shift. You can browse more of that work in the case studies collection here.
