Globality, Inc. is a privately held, Palo Alto-headquartered enterprise software company founded in 2015 by Joel Hyatt and Lior Delgo that sells an AI-driven autonomous sourcing platform to Global 2000 procurement organizations. The platform bundles four modules — Sourcing, Tail Spend Management, AI, and Integrations — and is fronted by Glo, a generative-AI agent that conducts multi-step sourcing workflows (requirement capture, supplier matching, bidding, evaluation, and automated e-negotiation) using a suite of named AI Skills (Brief Analysis, Proposal Analysis, Supplier Analysis, Pricing Analysis, and Project Details). The technology is multimodal (text, structured data, document ingestion), is trained on a proprietary procurement-expert-curated dataset, and exposes a public API, webhooks, and pre-built connectors to SAP Ariba, SAP Fieldglass, Coupa, and Tableau, with SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA compliance.

The company's named customers include Bristol Myers Squibb, BT, Dropbox, Fidelity, Electronic Arts, Santander, Invesco, UCB, T. Rowe Price, Tesco, HP, Prudential, FedEx, the London School of Economics, Kantar, and Toro, with reported enterprise outcomes including $1B+ in spend processed through Globality by BMS in 10 months, RFP cycle compression from 6–9 months to under 30 days, and 2.5x baseline savings at Invesco. The business model is sales-led enterprise SaaS with annual billing on quote-based pricing; revenue is not publicly disclosed. Globality has raised approximately $357M across six disclosed rounds, with investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, Sienna Capital, Rollins Capital, Raine Ventures, THK Equities, and Sandisk, and operates across 14+ countries in North America, EMEA, APAC, South Asia, Africa, and LATAM.

The session aims to help organizations determine appropriate levels of automation versus human oversight in sourcing operations. Globality highlighted recent client successes, including significant cost savings achieved by companies such as Bristol Myers Squibb, BT, and Tesco.CfotechA Guide for Procurement Leaders: Why Building Your Own Sourcing AI Isn't Worth the WaitGlobality has released a white paper advising procurement leaders to purchase specialized AI platforms rather than building internal solutions, citing that in-house development takes approximately 17 months with at least 50% of projects failing to reach production. The paper claims purpose-built procurement platforms can deploy within 30 days and deliver 60 to 90 percent faster sourcing cycle times alongside 10 to 20 percent cost savings. The company cites customer feedback from Invesco and Bristol Myers Squibb encouraging peers to begin AI transformation efforts to avoid falling behind competitors using specialized technology.Supply Chain DiveInside Bristol Myers’ AI-powered procurement overhaulBristol Myers Squibb transformed its procurement function using AI, reducing the request-for-proposal process from an average of 6-9 months to under 30 days. The company partnered with Globality to automate supplier discovery and selection, processing over $1 billion through the platform in its first year while scaling RFP activity tenfold. The case illustrates a debate in enterprise AI adoption about whether organizations should wait for perfect data quality or deploy AI with imperfect data to accelerate time to value.CFO DiveInside Bristol Myers’ AI-powered procurement overhaulBristol Myers Squibb successfully overhauled its procurement function using AI, reducing the average RFP cycle from six to nine months to less than 30 days by implementing Globality's platform. The initiative processed over $1 billion in sourcing volumes within its first year and enabled a fivefold increase in RFPs while cutting external resource usage by half. This strategy highlights a broader enterprise debate on balancing rapid AI deployment against data quality concerns.
