Ivalua is a leading provider of cloud-based Spend Management solutions. Ivalua’s complete, integrated Source-to-Pay platform is used by hundreds of the world’s most admired brands across the globe from every sector of business and level of government. Users can range across a broad spectrum but primarily within Procurement, Supplier Management, Finance or IT. Within Procurement, there are sourcing managers, category managers, contract managers, catalog managers and procurement analytics users. Within Supplier Management, there are users that are responsible for risk, performance, supplier information and more. In Finance, the typical user is in accounts payable and IT can vary from business analysts to integration specialists.
Of course, the breadth of users is also dependent on the company size and our customers are in large, global enterprises for the most part but also mid-sized businesses.
Customers realize a range of benefits, especially cost reduction, improved efficiency, better decision-making, improved employee satisfaction and improved collaboration with suppliers and across departments. Customers like Sprint quote $2bn in annual savings and $1B in incremental revenue. Meritor talks about Spend Managed and accelerated innovation. Many other customers like Maxim Healthcare, who have moved from another provider found that with Ivalua they were able to onboard more suppliers and users than with the previous solution. Some customers want rapid implementation others like Crédit Agricole want 100% digitization.
Not at all. For most users, there is not “technical” skill needed to use Ivalua, they can simply begin using it with the intuitive user experience and often guided user experience. Ivalua offers a consumer-like experience that results in broad adoption with little to no training. For example, Fannie Mae realized 100% adoption among its 8000 employees since day 1. Ivalua’s focus on ease of use also extends to administrators, who can quickly (and without any coding) modify workflows and other configurations to support processes.
Firstly Ivalua has great customer retention (98%) and that is the best recommendation. Also Ivalua is ranked a leader across the full Source-to_Pay spectrum by top analysts, including Gartner for Procure to Pay and Strategic Sourcing and by Forrester for eProcurement, Source to Contract and for Supplier Risk Performance Management.
Organizations who are considering SAP Ariba, Coupa, GEP, Jaggaer, Basware should also be looking at Ivalua.

Pricing is primarily based on users for all modules.
Ivalua’s suite is primarily available in a cloud-based SaaS model rather than download. We do offer low cost pilot and jump-start offerings, but currently not free options.
Ivalua’s suite is extremely intuitive, offering a consumer-like experience so training is not mandatory for most users, but a range of training options are available, from liv training to on-demand tutorials.
Ivalua offers jump start packages for record time to value, including Sourcing or SRPM in under 4 weeks, or P2P in 12. For companies with complex or unique requirements, timelines are longer and depend on the scope.
