Founder @Entrepreneurial Procurement

I founded ProcurementSoftware.site to fill a gap in the market. I looked around to find a simple, easy to use software directory that was a) not a pay-per-click sponsored content operation or b) didn\'t cost a small fortune for a subscription, meaning only large enterprise users can afford it. I concluded that nothing out there satisfied both of these criteria. This is not good for our profession, which urgently needs to modernise and become more outward looking. I didn\'t want the average procurement pro who\'s not part of a large, enterprise procurement team to be locked out of being able to access this data. So, I democratised access to it. The front end of the website will always be free to users on the buy side who are seeking to perform simple searches for procurement tech solutions. For users who have more advanced search needs and require push updates, our annual subscriptions to the back end database provide access to near-infinite number of search criteria at a cost within reach of the average senior procurement pro. We\'ve simplified and removed the barriers to scouting for the right procurement software. And we\'ve done this transparently, clearly labelling any sponsored content we produce and who we work with as software partners. Our pledge: No software solution has paid, or will ever pay us to be listed in our Software Finder directory.
