Digital procurement made simple

We focus on procurement technology, but inevitably there is sometimes crossover with legaltech, fintech, greentech etc.
Ultimately, we follow 3 basic principles:

1. They have to be focused on Procurement as one of their core markets.
2. They have to be pure-play software businesses. We don’t list consultancies or BPO operators with in-house tech that they’re seeking to sell to external organisations.
3. They must have a tested product ready to sell to customers. We don’t list anyone still at an MVP stage that’s still in beta.

Never! All of the solutions on ProcurementSoftware.site are listed free of charge. Our goal is to be the authority on procurement tech for mid-market businesses. We can’t do that with a “pay-to-play” business model! We do offer paid upgrades to profiles to unlock certain features, but this doesn’t affect the search results.

The website is completely free to use for anyone on the buy side, and we intend to keep it that way. We monetise the site through clearly marked sponsored content from solutions providers. We are also referral partners of some software solutions that we love and are proud to put our name behind. Our sister business is a small content marketing agency offering services to procurement & supply chain technology startups and procurement consultancies. Please contact us if you would like more info on any of these opportunities.

No, we monetise the site in other ways – please see above. Search results and visibility are not influenced by any sponsors or referral partners in the same way that, for example, Google and Amazon ads work.

One of our bugbears is that some competitor sites operate a “pay-to-play” business model under the radar. The reader or viewer may not realise that they’re consuming sponsored content. We don’t do that because in our opinion, it’s not an ethical business practice. Any sponsored blogs, podcast episodes or webinars are clearly called out as such. The directory profiles which contain videos, screenshots and buttons are also paid upgrades.

Because buying procurement technology isn’t like buying a smartphone. It’s a much more subjective set of criteria. Success of a digital transformation and the level of satisfaction with the software are both dependent on many other factors. Reviews are, quite frankly, useless for this type of purchase. We’ll explain more about this in our upcoming blog post.

Anyone who is considering an investment in a digital procurement solution will get value from our website. Our focus is on Procurement and Finance leaders in mid-market businesses, based in Europe and North America. These are the most mature markets for procuretech, and the existing content out there is both very expensive to access and does not serve non-enterprise businesses. We’ve democratised that!

Yes, please contact us.
Depending on what you’re looking for, we can offer either:

• Various integrations with our website (I-Frame, JSON, API etc);
• James, our Founder, offers his knowledge as a retained advisor to a small number of clients. This can free up your in-house consultants to drive more revenue to your practice.

Just complete our intake survey! It only takes 10-15 minutes and we give every relevant solution a free, standard profile.

Note: we only list pure-play software companies with a focus on procurement.
