ISPnext has been recognized as a validated provider in The Hackett Group’s Spring 2026 SolutionMap, widely regarded as one of the most rigorous, data-driven benchmarks for procurement technology. In this year’s assessment, ISPnext was evaluated alongside 118 vendors across 16 Source-to-Pay (S2P) categories, reflecting the breadth and competitiveness of today’s procurement technology landscape.
This year’s release is particularly significant, marking the integration of Spend Matters’ SolutionMap into The Hackett Group®. With this transition, SolutionMap further strengthens its position within the market, combining its established Solution Intelligence methodology with The Hackett Group’s global advisory reach.
At a time when procurement leaders are navigating increasingly complex technology decisions and growing expectations around AI-driven capabilities, the need for independent, credible validation has never been greater. Our inclusion in SolutionMap 2026 reflects not only the strength of our platform, but also our continued focus on delivering measurable value for our customers.
What is the SolutionMap
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.”

The assessment underscores key strengths of the ISPnext platform, including strong functional coverage, user-friendly design, and robust integration capabilities.

Why This Recognition Matters
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.”
“Recognition in the Spring SolutionMap 2026 validates our platform and confirms our focus on usability, integration, and end-to-end Source-to-Pay helps customers make better procurement decisions.”
