RALEIGH, N.C.: JAGGAER today announced the launch of its 25.3 product release, delivering measurable improvements in sourcing productivity, supplier risk management, and user experience, specifically developed with the needs manufacturing, public sector, and higher education organizations in mind.

With procurement teams under pressure to reduce cycle time, limit supplier risk, and support an expanding end-user base without adding headcount, the 25.3 release focuses on clear, defensible outcomes: faster sourcing event setup, stronger governance embedded directly into workflows, and a simplified intake experience that reduces misrouting and approval delays.

Customers will benefit from faster sourcing cycles through automation as 25.3 introduces capabilities that reduce repetitive work and return time to category managers including:

• Bulk RFx templates import that launches dozens or hundreds of events from one file.
• Conditional assessment rules that trigger reviews only when required.
• Automated supplier onboarding reminders to increase completion rates.

Public sector teams benefit from faster event creation, while manufacturing organizations gain capacity for strategic supplier negotiation.

“Our goal with 25.3 was simple: eliminate the administrative drag that slows sourcing down and enable teams to focus on strategy and execution excellence,” said Jon Lawrence, Chief Product Officer at JAGGAER.

25.3 introduces stronger supplier governance and ESG-driven risk controls to provide consistent, audit-ready outcomes thanks to: automated supplier gating that blocks unqualified or high-risk suppliers from events and contracts; action templates that standardize corrective actions with owners and SLAs, plus automatic supplier assessments that trigger reviews based on defined criteria.

An exciting opportunity for JAGGAER eProcurement customers – in 25.3, Intake & Orchestration replaces a confusing, manual, error-prone request process with a guided, automated “one front door” that eliminates misrouting, rework, and compliance gaps. The next wave of intake & orchestration introduces a centralized, guided entry point for all procurement requests.

25.3 builds the workflows, platform foundation, and structured data that power the next stage of JAGGAER’s AI roadmap. In the 26.1 release, JAI Assist will expand from guided help to a more comprehensive self-service enablement:

“AI only drives value when it reduces real workload,” said G.P. Polavarapu, Chief Digital & AI Officer at JAGGAER. “With 26.1, JAI Assist will take on the repetitive questions and navigation issues that consume thousands of hours every year.”
