Allocation Named A 2019 Spend Matters Provider to Watch

    ATLANTA, GA, May 07, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Allocation has been named a 2019 Provider to Watch by Spend Matters. Spend Matters released its 6th annual '50 Providers to Watch' lists in conjunction with the annual ISM conference.

The recognition highlights Allocation's award-winning portal, which enables complex manufacturing organizations the seamless integration of supplier, material group, part/item, strategy, and collaborative participation in order to: requisition necessary parts; source parts; award business; and, manage tool and part readiness, supplier quality, non-conformance, incidents, and change requests.

Spend Matters routinely reviews the latest procurement technology and service offerings to help organizations make wise and effective vendor selection decisions. The 50 Providers to Watch lists are the result of deep analysis and corroboration among all Spend Matters analysts and reflect the publication's unbiased, independent view of the organizations to know and watch.

"It's an honor to be named at one of the 50 Providers to Watch," Bernhard Soltmann, Allocation Network's co-founder and CEO, claims. "For many years organizations have focused on indirect spend, due to the sheer number of suppliers; however, the requisition, sourcing, and management of direct materials, which is significantly more complicated than indirect, has more impact to non-services companies and is more strategic to their success."

"Spend Matters continues to cover the rapid evolution of procurement technology and solutions, and the 50 Providers to Watch are independently selected by our analyst team. Where applicable, every 50/50 technology provider has completed rigorous SolutionMap vetting based on neutral data points," says Spend Matters founder Jason Busch. "We are thrilled Allocation has earned a deserved spot among the providers worth watching in 2019."

Procurement service providers can create a free listing in Spend Matters' vendor directory, the Almanac, to be considered by the analyst team constructing next year's 50 to Watch list. The Almanac contains 450+ vendor descriptions across 25 service/technology categories as well as Spend Matters' unbiased reviews and related articles. It is a valuable resource for procurement practitioners seeking insider intel on procurement service providers.
