Continued recognition in Fall SolutionMap 2025 by Spend Matters Matters

23 September 2025

Roy de Brouwer, Director Marketing

Spend Matters has released the Fall 2025 edition of its SolutionMap. This independent benchmarking tool helps organisations worldwide to evaluate procurement technology providers based on functionality, user experience, and verified customer feedback. We are proud to announce that, just as in the Spring edition earlier this year, ISPnext has once again been recognised in this ranking.

Strengths of the ISPnext platform

Spend Matters pointed out several ways our platform stands out. In Spend & Procurement Analytics, they praised our easy-to-use interface, especially the filtering tools, as well as our strong connections with other systems and modules. They also highlighted the benefit of automated analysis when data is loaded. 

For Contract Lifecycle Management and Supplier Management, they recognised our flexible approval workflows, with options for tolerance limits and delegated approvals. They also noted how smoothly data moves across modules, making information always accessible. 

In eProcurement, they valued our support for purchase requests through catalogues, webshops, or free forms. They said our solution meets the full needs of mid-sized organisations. The ability to set up complex approval chains, with multiple levels or parallel steps, was also highlighted. 

In AP Automation and Invoice-to-Pay, our strong invoice-matching features stood out Both at header and line level thanks to our AI-capabilities. They also mentioned support for matching against contracts and budgets, and the quick way invoices are digitised and linked to purchase orders or contracts, which is especially helpful for mid-sized companies. 

Finally, in Procure-to-Pay, our detailed spend analysis and proven ERP integrations were seen as key to making P2P processes more efficient and effective.

Positive customer feedback

Customer voices also played a central role in the evaluation. Feedback consistently underscores the personal service and fast response times that define ISPnext. Clients describe us as customer focused, innovative, and flexible, with strong core functionality delivered without unnecessary complexity. Many highlight our short communication lines and proactive approach, which strengthen our partnerships and allow us to respond quickly to their needs.
