vascodigama··on SAP Ariba too expensive Anybody interested in building an alternative with me?
Agreed 100% with your thought. Also thanks for sharing the links. These are really thoughtful. Will go through them in detail.

My bad, I was trying to play click bait to check interest. I am a electrical engineer turned management consultant with BCG. I worked with BCG across 2 different continents primarily supporting clients in change management, strategy and cost optimization.

I came across this problem in almost every client where their costs bloat up because of inefficient procurement and the solve was almost always pretty straight forward. Smart sourcing, real time monitoring and comparison with changing market dynamics.

Currently, no solutions exist which are simple to implement and use. Also very few solutions have easy UI/UX which is critical to drive usage across functions. Also what I understand the SMB space also doesn't have a solution like this.

What I bring to the table? Core domain knowledge of procurement, good client management skills & strong action bias to solving a problem

Why should you join me? If you are a hacker and want to redefine how procurement is done across enterprises, we should get chatting right away.

Thanks for the input. Infact I have made a list, but most of them are not accessible to play around with. Any easy hack that has enabled you to do this?

Also there are hardly any good solutions that exist for the SMB market.
