In our response to the coronavirus outbreak, this Spend Matters PRO series is continuing its mission to examine selected technology providers that professionals in procurement, finance and supply chain organizations should consider to reduce, and even mitigate, coronavirus supply risk — and then recover as fast as possible when sanity returns to the world.
The introduction to this series grouped the technology providers that we will (initially) cover into five specialty areas, with an example vendor for each.
1. Supply risk management (e.g., riskmethods.)
2. Sourcing and commodity management, including advanced sourcing, direct sourcing and commodity management to help dynamically plan and source (e.g., Jaggaer)
3. Advanced procurement analytics to enable direct procurement and/or to perform “spend planning” when demand drops out or spikes (e.g., Sievo)
4. P2P that emphasizes working capital, dynamic discounting, payment control and related finance priorities (e.g., Basware)
5. Fraud, P2P and Vendor Management Safeguards (e.g., APEX Analytix)
Owing to the magnitude of the crisis, we recently made the series introductionavailable for free, to all readers, to serve as a jumping off point. PRO subscribers can see our initial vendor profile ofriskmethodsand other profiles in this series. (All readers can get a lot of free information on each PRO brief before the analysis begins behind the paywall.)
