In this episode, I sit down with Julian Harris, the founder and CEO of Robobai, a supply chain analytics platform. Julian’s got extensive experience building tech companies across Europe and now in Asia, and in our chat, he shares how AI-driven data analytics can transform supply chain management for large organisations. Robobai’s focus is simple but effective: Know More, Buy Better.

We discuss the key challenges many companies face—lack of visibility into their spend, complexity from multiple ERP systems, and growing regulatory pressure around sustainability. Julian explains how Robobai aggregates and analyses data from diverse sources to give organisations a clear picture of their suppliers, uncovering opportunities for savings, identifying risks, and helping clients make more sustainable choices.

Some of the episode’s highlights include:

• How Robobai helps big brands like Coca-Cola and MasterCard manage billions in spend across thousands of suppliers.
• The role of AI in classifying data, identifying modern slavery risks, and reducing emissions.
• A proactive approach to supplier diversity and sustainability, from supporting Indigenous suppliers to tracking carbon footprints.
• Why top-down legislation is becoming the primary driver of sustainability in supply chains, and what’s coming next in terms of compliance.

If you're keen to understand how AI can streamline supply chain operations while improving sustainability, this episode is packed with actionable insights.
