S-OIL announced on the 25th that it introduced its AI-based digital procurement system as an innovation case to domestic procurement personnel at the '7th Seoul Supply Management Conference' hosted by the Korea Purchasing Professionals Association and the Korea Procurement Society.

As part of its recent digital transformation strategy, S-OIL has completed the advancement of its procurement system by integrating AI technology into the existing procurement system. It has built price and demand forecasting models that consider internal procurement data and external market price fluctuations to determine the optimal procurement timing.
