High-value spend analytics and actionable procurement performance management need to come from a solid data foundation. But according to the recent survey, From Insights to Impact: Driving High-Performance Procurement, 75% of respondents doubt the accuracy of their data, 73% of procurement teams still track metrics with spreadsheets and other inefficient tools, and 39% lack plans to use ESG data to improve non-financial performance metrics to comply with new regulatory policies and corporate commitments.

Additionally, the company’s innovative, industry-leading procurement solution garnered widespread acclaim last year, having added environmental, social and governance (ESG) capabilities as customers turn spend analytics into new procurement initiatives to support strategic business objectives, and supporting new integrations with Supplier.io, Corcentric, and Archlet to further expand its interoperability in the procurement landscape. SpendHQ earned recognition as a 2023 Provider to Know by Spend Matters, was designated as a ‘High-Performer’ in the Winter 2023 edition by G2, featured in AT Kearney’s Modern Procurement Platform Stack as a notable Platform Player for ‘intel’, and listed in the 2023 Procuretech 100 as an analytics, data and intelligence pioneer.
