Procurement Leaders Struggle To Scale AI

ProcureAbility's 2026 CPO Report, covered by FreightWaves and PR Newswire, finds every surveyed procurement organization uses AI but only 11% are fully prepared to scale it enterprise-wide, with 65% operating in pilots. Respondents cite data silos, privacy/compliance (67%), and data quality/integration (54%) as primary barriers; firms must invest in data maturity, governance, and hybrid talent to enable scaled deployment.
