Iberdrola Group receives the AERCE award for Best Digitalisation Project in Purchasing in Spain
- The company has begun applying generative artificial intelligence in its processes with suppliers, which is improving efficiency
- These awards serve as a major showcase to highlight the innovation, excellence, and strategic impact of purchasing professionals and projects in Spain
The Iberdrola Group, of which Iberdrola España is a part, 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, the Director of Global Purchasing and Services at the Iberdrola Group, José Ignacio Sánchez-Galán García-Tabernero, highlighted that this recognition "provides 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 Platform for Offer Evaluation based on generative artificial intelligence."
The new platform, which operates on one of the main parts of the purchasing process, automates and optimises the review and evaluation of supplier offers, covering everything from document compliance to initial technical and economic assessments, as well as risk management. Thanks to the application of generative AI, the solution eliminates subjectivity, provides certainty and transparency, and reduces the time of the purchasing process for the Purchasing and Business teams, increasing efficiency and allowing professionals to focus on strategic tasks.
The Iberdrola Group, a global leader in renewable energy and smart grids, thus reinforces its commitment to sustainability, digitalisation, and operational excellence. The Purchasing Department serves as a strategic lever to accelerate the energy transition, drive innovation, and create shared value with suppliers and collaborators.
The implementation of technologies such as cloud systems, robotics, real-time dashboards, and now generative artificial intelligence, places the Iberdrola Group at the forefront of the digitalisation of purchasing in the energy sector.
A more electrified, digital, and sustainable future in Spain
The Iberdrola Group expresses its gratitude to AERCE for this recognition, as well as to the effort and dedication of its suppliers and collaborators, who accompany the company on its path to excellence. "Without electrification, there is no digitalisation," stressed the Director of Global Purchasing and Services, emphasising the need to continue investing in networks and the maintenance of nuclear energy.
The AERCE Awards, held at the Real Casino of Murcia, are a major platform to highlight the innovation, excellence, and strategic impact of purchasing professionals and projects in Spain. This edition is especially significant as it coincides with the 1,200th anniversary of the capital of the Region.
