Great product with great features

PROS

The data visualizations within the tool are a huge help when determining where to focus our efforts. I specifically enjoy the categories page as a quick visualization of current state. The ability to drill down quickly from the category level to the individual supplier level detail has been instrumental in our supplier strategy development.

CONS

Developing custom reports and dashboards does take additional education and practice. The user interface around this space continues to get updates and improvements and has become easier to use. The SpendHQ team really listens to the feedback from the power users and is rapidly advancing any deficits the tool has today.

Supplier Sourcing Management Made Easy Using Spend HQ

Managing Supplier Agreements in one place and as a Main Admin User I am able to promptly provide documents to our company team members without having to reach out to our Supplier Account Rep for a copy. This helps our buyers negotiate new renewal terms and discounts to save the company money.

PROS

The software provides "AT A GLANCE" ability to view Supplier Agreements and Terms all in one place and takes away the limited access we once had because our Contracts were held by each Requestor/Buyer and there was no one managed location to review the Supplier Status. And able to add Buyer email expiration notices to buyers that are not a licensed user.

CONS

Needs a place to include in the Documents Module a place for Supplier Account Reps Name, Email, Ph#. Also to include a place to keep the Accounting Cost Center # and ability to have more room in the NOTES section. 200 characters is good but 250 would be better.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your feedback, Lisa! We're so glad you like the SpendHQ Documents module for managing your supplier agreements. We'll add your notes to an Enhancement Request for the Product Team to review!

Spend HQ Review

Tool could have more features to be more helpful with category management and tier 2 reporting but I think we are having issues even with the basics

PROS

In the 8 months that I've worked with the software, I felt that the ease of use was on the high end of the spectrum and fairly quickly adapted and utilized the dashboards that my team set up.

CONS

I've had issues with the data accuracy from spend hq side (changing data from quarter to quarter), system being down multiple times in the same day and no notifications at times, and no accountability- supplier io information feed incorrect and spend hq not owning up to it. Customer service has been subpar too.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your feedback, Kaitlin. We're glad that you find the tool easy to use and that you were able to quickly customize the analytics dashboards set up by your team. Please note that if you are concerned about any changes to your data quarter over quarter, it's best to validate with the Account Administrators on your team that they've not assigned any Power Filters to your profile or approved any re-categorization or re-normalization requests that might affect the categories you manage. If you continue to have concerns with the data or system access, please don't hesitate to submit an inquiry via email to our (newly expanded) SpendHQ Support team at helpdesk@spendhq.com. We'd also love your feedback on what additional category management functionality might be useful for you. Please reach out to your Client Success Manager directly or send a note to ClientSuccess@spendhq.com to book a session with our Product team so that we can gather your product enhancement requests.

I'm not writing a review

It's better than nothing; which is my alternative.

PROS

Spend visibility

CONS

Categories drift and you have to stay after it. For instance, yesterday I found a Temp Staffing agency with $560K spend that wasn't in the staffing category.

Vendor Response

Any feedback is helpful feedback, Greg! Thank you for your insight. While we do offer the ability for SpendHQ users to conduct recategorization and renormalization activities via self-service tools in the platform, we're always happy to assist if you observe any anomalies in your data. I recommend submitting a technical assistance request via the SpendHQ platform so that our data intelligence team can ensure that there are no tags, or post-categorization mappings, occurring in your data that may now be outdated. We look forward to ensuring that your data is accurate as possible.

Spend Analytics with deep insight and Enterprise-ready

Great leadership team, clear direction and clearly sitting at the top of their market segment.

PROS

Spend HQ has been built by sourcing and procurement professionals who really are subject-matter experts in this domain. This means you get access to world-class tech and a team that will make you successful right from the get-go. Their pedigree speaks for itself in working for some of the world's largest and most successful companies.

CONS

It would be interesting to see whether there is a more mid-market solution that can be offered that has a lighter set of functionality and lower entry fee for those that don't need such a capable engine & service.
