Featured September 2026 innovations
Slash sourcing cycle times with autonomous event creation
Submit the request and let the autonomous agent take it from there — checking policy, finding the right template, and swapping in your real items and suppliers. By fully automating intake-to-award flows, it eliminates the manual grind of template selection and supplier vetting, targeting an approximate 80% cycle-time reduction.

Accelerate time-to-transact with AI-guided supplier onboarding
Just tell NaviTM who you need to onboard, and it handles discovery, sanction checks, form pre-fill, and status tracking in a truly “onboard anywhere” experience. This removes the manual effort of duplicate checking and form-filling that delays time-to-transact and pollutes supplier master data.
Establish a single source of truth with a unified item repository
Provide your team with one catalog across every ERP to ensure zero chaos and a single source of truth, regardless of how many systems operate behind the scenes. This capability ingests and unifies item master data from systems like SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics, effectively reducing catalog bloat and integration failure rates.
Prevent costly misdirected payouts with the Payments Fraud Management Agent
Stop payment fraud before it starts with a Payments Fraud Management Agent that flags suspicious document submissions to protect against account takeover schemes and fake documentation. By automating the verification of sensitive bank documents, it prevents costly, misdirected payouts and allows teams to approve supplier accounts with total confidence.
Instantly resolve payment queries with the Payment Analysis Agent
Stop digging through dashboards for answers with an upgraded agent equipped to instantly answer natural language questions across your entire payment lifecycle, from failed invoices to virtual card charges. Teams save significant time by pulling comprehensive payment insights via simple conversational prompts instead of requiring SQL or custom reports.
Drive spend compliance with a streamlined corporate card experience
Ditch the clunky PO process for corporate cards and utilize a dedicated, mobile-friendly hub that makes requesting and managing cards easy for employees. Administrators can configure specific spend policies while giving end users a centralized view, providing the flexibility to design custom programs and ensure better compliance.
