Nordstrom integrated an AI-powered procurement intelligence platform called Suplari to give its sourcing and procurement team real-time visibility into company-wide spending patterns and supplier relationships.

Nordstrom's VP of Strategic Sourcing and Procurement, Karoline Dygas, confirmed the company accesses AI through Suplari, a third-party procurement analytics tool. Suplari analyzes spend data from across Nordstrom's supplier base, classifies it into structured categories, and surfaces insights for procurement decision-making. The platform enables Nordstrom's team to analyze over $3.5 billion in annual non-merchandise spend. Dygas described the tool as transforming procurement from a reactive reporting function into a more strategic, data-driven capability.
