Product Innovation

In Q1 2025, SpendHQ delivered a series of powerful enhancements across its Spend Intelligence and Performance Management solutions, reinforcing its commitment to helping procurement leaders drive smarter, faster, and more resilient decision-making. These advancements, which are designed to provide real-time insights, streamline execution, and mitigate supplier risk within a unified platform, include:

• Proactive Supplier Risk Management – SpendHQ launched a new Supplier Risk Management solution to help organizations stay ahead of supply chain disruptions. By continuously monitoring supplier risk across financial, geopolitical, and operational factors, this solution empowers procurement teams to take timely, data-driven action. The launch was supported by a Supplier Risk Masterclass Series, equipping professionals with practical strategies to elevate their risk management practices.
• Integrated Intake Management for Smarter Execution – New Intake Management tools offer a centralized entry point for all procurement requests, ensuring every initiative is captured, routed, and prioritized effectively. This enhancement streamlines planning, improves forecasting accuracy, and accelerates execution by eliminating friction across procurement workflows.

These tools enable procurement teams to visualize timelines, track progress, and coordinate initiatives with greater precision, driving accountability and accelerating results.
• Introducing Spendy, our Intelligent Procurement Assistant – Spendy is a powerful multi-agent AI solution built directly into the SpendHQ platform. Designed to supercharge strategic and operational tasks, Spendy works alongside procurement teams to streamline daily workflows, boost efficiency, and deliver smarter, faster decision-making.

“These new capabilities are about more than just features — they’re about empowering procurement leaders to drive meaningful outcomes with clarity and confidence,” said Pierre Laprée, Chief Product Officer at SpendHQ. “Procurement is facing mounting pressure to deliver actionable results for key business priorities. We're proud to continue innovating alongside our customers to meet the challenges of modern procurement head-on.”
