Trusted by leaders: Real-world AI impact.
The problems we hear from leaders like you
Category decisions are expected to be data-driven, but information is often scattered, outdated, or difficult to analyze at scale.
Fragmented category data
Spend, supplier performance, and market insights live across multiple systems, making it difficult to form a unified view of each category.
Limited market intelligence
Teams rely on static reports or manual research, which fails to capture real-time market movements, pricing trends, and supplier risks.
Reactive sourcing decisions
Without forward-looking insights, procurement teams respond to issues after they occur instead of proactively managing category risks and opportunities.
Inefficient negotiation preparation
Category managers spend significant time compiling data for negotiations, often working with incomplete or outdated information.
