Modern procurement demands more than periodic reviews — it requires a continuous, intelligent pulse on every supplier relationship. In this session, Grainger shares how they moved from batch pipelines and manual scorecarding to a real-time supplier compliance platform built on Confluent and Databricks. You'll learn how Confluent's Tableflow seamlessly bridges streaming Kafka data into Delta tables within Databricks Unity Catalog — eliminating brittle ETL, unifying schemas, and giving Procurement teams the live insights they need to make faster, more confident decisions about their supplier portfolio.
