Today’s procurement leaders face an ongoing dilemma — they're responsible for managing company spend, but their own budgets are often overlooked.
Meanwhile, the procurement tech landscape is heating up. With new solutions ranging from intake and approval platforms to data analysis tools and negotiation services, the global procurement software market is projected to grow from $6.67 billion in 2022 to $13.80 billion by 2029, according to Fortune Business Insights. Yet, while procurement software is on the rise, cost remains a major barrier to adoption.
Recently, Chamath Palihapitiya made waves announcing the 8090 Incubator, which promises to build software products with 80% feature parity to software incumbents at a 90% discount. The idea? With AI, you can build great software products faster and pass cost savings onto the customer.
Today, we’re taking a look at how Vendr is putting this principle into action for the procurement industry.
The High Cost of Disparate Tools
In today’s procurement landscape, essential services often come with substantial costs. For instance:
- Engaging with research and advisory teams, such as Gartner or Forrester, for actionable insights can exceed $100,000.
- Implementing leading approval workflows tools, such as Zip or Coupa, typically comes with a $100,000+ price tag.
- SaaS Management Platforms that purportedly give insight into usage, utilization, and access can tack on an additional $80,000+ (and miss a lot of important details).
When you add it all up, these tools and services cost more than $250,000. In most cases, this total represents the majority of a procurement team’s budget, if there was even a budget for a procurement team in the first place.
Vendr’s Approach: 80% of the Value, for 10% of the Cost
