We're excited to share that Ceipal has been recognized by Everest Group, an independent research and advisory firm, across three separate regional assessments of the Vendor Management System (VMS) market in 2026, covering the global market, North America, and EMEA.

In the Global VMS PEAK Matrix® 2026, Ceipal was named both a Major Contender and a Star Performer, a distinction reserved for providers showing standout year-over-year improvement. In the North America report, Ceipal was recognized as a Major Contender, and in the EMEA report, as an Aspirant — reflecting our growing vision and capability in that market.

What Is the PEAK Matrix®?

The PEAK Matrix® is Everest Group's independent framework for evaluating VMS providers across two dimensions: market impact, and vision and capability. Providers are assessed on criteria including market adoption, client portfolio diversity, value delivered to clients, product vision and strategy, core technology, differentiating and emerging capabilities, implementation and UX, and commercial model.

Why It Matters

Getting placed across three separate regional reports in the same year isn't just a nice badge; it's independent confirmation of something we hear from customers directly: Ceipal VMS is built to support workforce programs of any size and geography, whether you're managing 50 suppliers or 5,000, running a domestic program or a global one.

Recognition like this also reflects the pace of investment behind the product—from AI-driven matching and supplier discovery to the depth of our vendor management, timesheet, and invoicing tools—and it's a good external check that we're building in the right direction.
