Pharmaceutical company Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) soft-launched Globality's AI sourcing platform in November 2024 and scaled it organisation-wide in February 2025 to automate key parts of finding and selecting suppliers, as part of a procurement transformation that began in June 2024 (reported by CFO Dive). Rhonda Griscti, BMS's executive director of digital strategy and global process lead, said the average RFP process fell from six to nine months to less than 30 days, more than $1 billion flowed through the platform in the first year, and the team ran roughly 10 times more RFPs while bringing outsourced work in-house with about 50% fewer resources (reported by CFO Dive from Griscti's interview; gains overlap with a wider process redesign, so not all are attributable to the AI).
