Very very interesting. Few questions:

Are you onboarding suppliers on your platform with their own supplier portal for collaboration/chat? Or is only catalog data?

Does the RFI, RFQ etc processes happen within the system or outside?

How does your sourcing software integrate with existing supplier selection modules, contracts lifecycle management modules ( for compliance, audit etc) like SAP or Oracle that might already be deployed by the customer?

Is this similar to SAP ariba or coupa but with catalogs predefined?

Thank you so much for your detailed questions!

As of today, we are not onboarding suppliers onto our platform. We work with a variety of data sources to generate accurate and helpful insights, even without onboarding suppliers.

Users can decide whether they want to run RFX processes from their systems or ours.

Yes, we can integrate with existing procurement solutions like SAP or Oracle as we are complementary to them.

No, we are not similar to SAP Ariba or Coupa. Ariba covers the whole procurement value chain while Coupa focuses on spend management. We focus on sourcing - the highest value driver in the procurement value chain.
