Iberdrola has been recognised by AERCE (Spanish Association of Purchasing, Contracting and Procurement Professionals) with the award for Best Digitalisation Project in Purchasing, a distinction that highlights the company’s commitment to innovation and digital transformation in its strategic processes.
During the award ceremony, Iberdrola’s Director of Purchasing and Global Services, José Ignacio Sánchez-Galán García-Tabernero, highlighted that this recognition “is a boost and motivation to continue advancing in the digital transformation of the Purchasing Department. This award reflects the collective work of an exceptional team of professionals who have developed an Intelligent Bid Evaluation Platform based on generative artificial intelligence.”
The new platform, which acts on one of the main parts of the procurement process, automates and optimises the review and evaluation of supplier bids, covering everything from document compliance to an initial technical and economic evaluation, as well as risk management. Thanks to the application of generative AI, the solution eliminates subjectivity, provides certainty and transparency, and reduces the time spent on the purchasing process by the Purchasing and Business teams, increasing efficiency and allowing professionals to increase their capabilities and focus on strategic tasks.
Iberdrola, a world leader in renewable energy and smart grids, thus reinforces its commitment to sustainability, digitalisation and operational excellence. The Purchasing Department is a strategic lever for accelerating the energy transition, driving innovation and generating shared value with suppliers and partners.
The implementation of technologies such as cloud systems, robotisation, real-time dashboards and, now, generative artificial intelligence, place Iberdrola at the forefront of the digitalisation of purchasing in the energy sector.
A more electrified, digital and sustainable future
Iberdrola would like to thank AERCE for this recognition, as well as the effort and dedication of suppliers and partners who accompany the company on its path to excellence. ‘Without electrification, there is no digitalisation,’ emphasised the Director of Global Procurement and Services, insisting on the need to continue investing in networks and maintaining nuclear energy.
The AERCE Awards, held at the Real Casino de Murcia, are a great showcase for highlighting the innovation, excellence and strategic impact of purchasing professionals and projects in Spain. This year’s event takes on special significance as it coincides with the 1,200th anniversary of the region’s capital.
