The functional capabilities typically included by Strategic Sourcing applications include [project management](https://www.g2.com/categories/project-management), category management, savings tracking, data collection, [team collaboration](https://www.g2.com/categories/team-collaboration), and a supplier marketplace. Strategic sourcing is distinct from tactical and process focused applications that typically support operational requisitioning, ordering, invoicing, and payment processes. Strategic sourcing is often deployed as a shared service, even for very large organizations, and are used for managing all types of spend — including services and direct, raw, and indirect materials. These shared-service centers often report into the procurement or supply chain organizations. To qualify for inclusion in the Strategic Sourcing category, a product must: - Include the capability to collect and store a repository of structured data - Provide side by side comparison of included sourced products - Provide the ability to easily create, edit, share, and collaborate on data internally Top Tools at a Glance | | End-to-end sourcing with SAP ERP integration | User Review "Modern API-First Ariba on SAP BTP That Reduces Integration Friction" | | | Configurable source-to-contract with ERP integration | User Review "All-in-One Solution with Configurable Processes" | | | AI-driven PO-to-invoice matching with ERP sync | User Review "Clear, Easy Invoice Approvals—Perfect for Remote Teams!" | | | Multi-supplier RFQ analysis with AI-powered scenario optimization | User Review "Efficient RFP Management with Seamless Reusability" | | | ServiceNow-native procurement workflow consolidation | User Review "AI-Driven End‑to‑End Procurement Excellence with ServiceNow Source‑to‑Pay" | | | Field-to-office procurement with ERP-synced traceability | User Review "Field Materials Foundation Integration" | | | SaaS benchmarking and negotiation with procurement workflows | User Review "Effortless Configuration with Stellar Support" | * * * Show More
