Detailed Process Comparison: Before and After AI
1. Current State (As-Is): The 45-Day Slowdown
The procurement process involved multiple sequential, manual checks by Procurement, Legal, and Finance, causing extensive handoff delays and compliance uncertainty, resulting in a 45-day Vendor Setup Cycle Time.
| Legal Review Queue | Every contract required full legal review, even for standard terms, leading to a long queue and significant downtime. | 10-15 days of unpredictable queue time for standard vendors. |
2. Future State (To-Be): The 20-Day AI Optimized Blueprint
The Dragon1 AI BPMN Process Architect generated the Future State model, implementing a parallel compliance check and automated contract review, achieving a Vendor Setup Cycle Time of 20 days (a 55% reduction).
| AI Contract Compliance Scan | AI performs a rapid clause-by-clause comparison of the vendor contract against pre-approved legal templates and flags only deviations for human legal review. | Reduced Legal time by 70%, enabling fast-track approval for compliant terms. |
