Glass Reintroduces G-Commerce, the AI-Powered Commerce Platform for the Public Sector
You know, procurement isn't glamorous, but I reckon it's where small councils lose whole days chasing quotes and paperwork instead of fixing the town's water main. Give a stretched council officer in some small town an AI that handles the buying dance sensibly, and you've handed them back time for actual people. That's the real prize: less admin, more attention on the ordinary Kiwi waiting at the counter.
