AI in procurement is craft, not magic.
ai-procurement is the AI brand of Henning Solutions GmbH in Bremen, Germany. Klaas Henning combines more than 5 years of experience in procurement and e-procurement projects with hands-on AI practice – pragmatic, close to mid-sized companies and vendor-neutral in tool selection.
Where we come from
ai-procurement.de is run by Henning Solutions GmbH in Bremen and focuses exclusively on AI in procurement: use cases, tools, pilots and training.
We are convinced AI will become standard in procurement. But only if it connects to real processes, works with clean data and is embraced by the team. That is exactly where we help.
Who is behind it
Klaas Henning is Managing Director of Henning Solutions GmbH. He comes from hands-on supply chain work at a large mid-sized company, was a product manager at a software start-up and has advised procurement organisations since 2023 – today with a focus on AI. He builds his own AI tools for tasks that come back in procurement every week.

How we work
Vendor-neutral in selection
We recommend the tool that fits your use case and data. We only use our own tools where they fit – and label them openly.
AI-native
We use AI productively every day ourselves. No method decks without hands-on experience.
Mid-sized companies first
Pragmatic pilots in 6–12 weeks rather than large projects spanning years.
Honest about data
If the data is not good enough, we say so. AI does not get better through wishful thinking.
With your team
We build capability, not dependency. You should be able to carry on without us.
Confidential
Your spend data, suppliers and strategies stay protected. Discretion is standard.
