Procurewise Makes Spend Matters’ “Future 5” List

Spend Matters Names Ceipal Procurewise to the Fourth Annual “Future 5” List of Procurement Technology Providers

ROCHESTER, NY — October 17, 2022 — Macro forces and shifting competitive dynamics are breathing new life into the procurement technology market — and some providers will ride the new wave better than others. From a volatile economic environment to evolving regulatory frameworks, procurement is overwhelmed with issues it must keep on top of while delivering on its current portfolio of initiatives. In this context, more vendors than ever are developing new concepts or stepping across the boundaries of adjacent markets.

To help make sense of what’s “real” and more accurately predict how the next phase of this space will unfold, Spend Matters releases their annual “50 Providers to Know,” “50 Providers to Watch,” and “Future 5” listees, sourced and calculated by the entire Spend Matters analyst team to represent the best of the technology providers that serve procurement, finance, and supply chain organizations.

Ceipal Procurewise is honored to be recognized on the “Future 5” list this year. As the fourth annual list release, the 2022 nominees were thoroughly reviewed by Spend Matters analysts. The list is comprised of the other most impressive procurement technology startups that meet the following criteria:

  • Is less than 5 years old, ideally with less than 2 years in the market (official product launch)
  • Has an innovative, interesting application of technology
  • Maintains clear momentum and sustainability
  • Has less than $10 million in revenue
