Banco Santander users will be able to utilize Globality’s AI advisor, “Glo,” together with its natural language processing technology, to search for the best suppliers quickly and easily for consulting, marketing, IT, financial, legal, HR, and real estate services.

“We are delighted that Santander is deploying Globality’s Platform globally,” said Joel Hyatt, Co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of Globality. “The financial group is renowned for being at the forefront of utilizing technology to gain a competitive edge, and working together will allow us to transform services sourcing through the use of AI.”

This collaboration with Globality and the commitment to a model that facilitates self-service procurement and self-sourcing brings increased agility and efficiency and ensures compliance with the necessary policies and protocols. Jorge de la Vega, Global Head of Aquanima, added, “It represents an evolution of our procurement function toward a more strategic vision and allows us to increase collaboration by reinforcing our value contribution to the user.”

The partnership with Globality also supports the streamlining of the Santander Group’s processes. As Javier Maldonado, Head of the Group’s Cost Division, points out, “Strengthening our product offering and value to our customers is fundamental for Santander, and the digitalization of our processes has become our priority for achieving it.”
