Recognition in The Hackett Group’s SolutionMap 2026

SolutionMap is widely regarded as the industry’s most rigorous, data-driven benchmark for procurement technology. Assessments are conducted by The Hackett Group’s Solution Intelligence analysts, formerly the Spend Matters™ analyst team.

Each evaluation is built on 500+ detailed functional and capability criteria, mandatory product demonstrations, and impartial, anonymized, verified customer value ratings. The result is an independent, evidence-based view of the procurement technology landscape, one that procurement leaders rely on when evaluating solutions, building business cases, and gaining internal buy-in for technology investments.

As Carina Kuhl, Principal, Solution Intelligence at The Hackett Group®, states: “Procurement technology decisions carry real organizational risk. When a provider appears in SolutionMap, it means they’ve earned their place through a process built on 500+ capability criteria, mandatory demonstrations and verified customer ratings, not marketing claims. Buyers can shortlist with confidence.”

ISPnext has been evaluated as part of an assessment spanning a broad range of Source-to-Pay categories and is recognized across multiple areas:

• Spend & Procurement Analytics
• Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM)
• Supplier Management (SXM)
• eProcurement (ePro)
• AP Automation / Invoice-to-Pay (AP/I2P)
• Procure-to-Pay (P2P)

This recognition reflects independent validation of our solution’s capabilities and the real-world value we deliver to our customers. It also highlights the breadth of our Source-to-Pay platform and its ability to support organizations across the full procurement lifecycle.

The assessment underscores key strengths of the ISPnext platform, including strong functional coverage, user-friendly design, and robust integration capabilities. Our seamless connections with leading ERP systems such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365 (F&O and Business Central), Oracle JD Edwards, Exact, and Infor contribute to delivering consistent value in complex environments.

In today’s market, procurement technology decisions carry increasing organizational risk, particularly as AI-enabled capabilities become more widely embedded and harder to differentiate. SolutionMap is designed to give procurement leaders the facts they need to select best-fit solutions with confidence, and to provide providers with a trusted platform to demonstrate their capabilities.

Being recognized in SolutionMap means that a provider has earned its place through a consistent and rigorous evaluation process, making the validation meaningful for both buyers and providers.

As Carina Kuhl, Principal, Solution Intelligence at The Hackett Group®, explains: “With SolutionMap, procurement leaders have the verified, comparable intelligence they need to evaluate solutions on what actually matters, capability, customer experience and fit. Providers who earn a place in these rankings have demonstrated they belong on the shortlist.”

For our customers, this recognition is less about rankings and more about confirmation. It shows that the way they use ISPnext every day, streamlining processes, gaining insight, and working more efficiently, is also reflected in an independent evaluation.

What stands out is not just the functionality itself, but how easily teams can apply it in practice. Procurement and finance teams are able to move faster, rely on clearer data, and spend less time on manual tasks.

By combining analytics, automation, and a platform that fits into existing IT landscapes, customers create a more connected way of working. The result is better visibility, smoother collaboration, and more control across the entire Source-to-Pay process.
