ISPnext recognised by Spend Matters in multiple SolutionMap editions

Spend Matters has evolved from a pioneering blog into an international platform for data-driven insights in procurement and supply chain technology. With SolutionMap, it provides an independent benchmark that helps organisations select the right procurement software based on transparent and comparable criteria.

SolutionMap covers hundreds of functional requirements, extensive RFIs, mandatory demonstrations and anonymised customer reviews. Analysts evaluate vendors on functionality, user experience, AI capabilities, platform components, integration options and overall value.

Pierre Mitchell, Chief Research Officer at Spend Matters, highlights the purpose of SolutionMap: “The SolutionMap gives buyers direct insight into AI use cases, usability and low-code platforms aligned with specific needs.”
