WEBINAR: A Data-Driven Approach to Smarter Deals

When it comes to managing finances or making large decisions for an organization, data is of the utmost importance to help guide your decisions and give you insights on what to expect after the decision is made. Whether you’re managing day-to-day finances, making a decision on pricing, choosing who to partner with, or even creating deal negotiations, having data to back each decision is the safest way to play.

In this session, Scott Luton and Supply Chain Now welcome Laren Sidhu and Oisín Cooke with Enable and Charlotte Rodgers with DCS as they go over the importance of data and the impact that a data-driven decision can make for your organization, both now and in the future. They’ll also review how to visualize your data to make more informed decisions, and how to best utilize the data that you’ve found so you can set your organization up for greater success as you grow.

2026 Procurement Priorities: What’s Changing (and What You Need to Do First)

Procurement teams already shoulder immense pressure to deliver margin, resilience, and stronger supplier partnerships — and 2026 is only going to heighten those expectations. Fortunately, teams already have a powerful, often under-looked resource at their disposal: rebates. In this webinar, Supply Chain Now hosts Scott Luton and Marty Parker welcome rebate and procurement experts Mark Gilham from Enable and Keith Wright from K. Wright Consultancy to help you understand how rebates, incentive programs, and joint business planning can create alignment, unlock hidden value, and make your supplier relationships far more strategic. They will reveal what most procurement teams don’t know about rebates, the full spectrum of incentive programs available, and how these programs can transform suppliers and buyers into a unified go-to-market force. Join us to learn how organizations are leveraging AI to overcome traditional rebate management barriers, empowering suppliers to offer richer incentives — and giving procurement unprecedented visibility to ensure no money is left on the table.
