What is ProcureCon MRO?

For too long, MRO has been a fractured category. Join fellow practitioners for a collaborative discussion on how to move MRO into the 21st century. This virtual event will arm practitioners with strategies to modernize MRO spend, gain more spend under management, reduce POs and suppliers, and benchmark against other companies.

The ProcureCon MRO Virtual Event features a series of 30-minute online presentations, case studies, fire-side chats, panel discussions, and town halls from MRO leaders driving change.

Presentation: Resolving MRO Data Challenges to Unlock Procurement Potential

Robert Kline, Senior Director, Data Management, Synovos

Data and analytics are critical to a procurement organization’s ability to identify, address and leverage spend. Yet, many organizations struggle to fully leverage these valuable tools because of incomplete, siloed, non-standard or inaccurate data. Technologies such as artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics make solving these challenges more cost effective and achievable than ever before. These tools make it possible to rapidly identify parts, make spend influenceable by capturing critical supplier and manufacturer information, and categorize spend to drive insights and uncover opportunities. In addition to supporting these core procurement objectives, improved data has the potential to enable additional value through enhanced process automation, accuracy, and demand management.
