Full spend visibility in a few clicks **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pascale B. | Head of Corporate Purchasing, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 27, 2025 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** The most useful thing is the aggregation of thousands of Excel lines with currencies, supplier names, and disparate categories, with the possibility of then creating thousands of different reports with power filters. I like the grouping of several suppliers from the same group under a single account, the automatic categorization, and the search for the DUNS number. Very interesting is the information on new suppliers versus previous periods. I could have more and more information, but my sources are very disparate from one region to another, limiting the possibilities of drilling down to increasingly detailed information. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** There are no disadvantages, but rather certain challenges if data integration is done with Excel files, and what is not very intuitive is the creation of ad hoc reports since there are many variables, etc... **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having a global visibility that I didn't have before Being able to easily create reports Having a global view for the same supplier ### 2. Best in Class Solution **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Wided B. | Sourcing Transformation à Performance Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 05, 2025 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** SpendHQ has a very user-friendly interface which simplifies sourcing projects and savings visibility across categories. It’s intuitive, which makes it easy to navigate and quickly generate insights without requiring advanced technical skills **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** What I dislike about SpendHQ is minor — I sometimes wish there were more options to tailor reports and better link data across different modules, but overall the platform remains highly efficient. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** SpendHQ helps us streamline sourcing project tracking, gain savings insights, and generate detailed but also executive-level reports. It enhances collaboration between the sourcing team and finance. The platform supports savings identification and contributes to building a more proactive and data-driven sourcing organization ### 3. User-Friendly Spend Management with Robust Integration **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Luis P. **Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2025 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** I love using SpendHQ for its support and flexibility, which have made data consolidation seamless and efficient. The user-friendly analytics dashboard is invaluable for tracking data issues and improving processes. The integration with other tools like Tamer and Power BI is smooth, providing a comprehensive view of our spend profile. I also appreciate the supportive team behind the product, whose willingness to help has been tremendously beneficial. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** I would like to see a data quality module added to SpendHQ. Since our use case heavily relies on the quality of data being ingested, it's important for us to track and understand data health throughout the ingestion and processing stages. This addition would help identify and fix any data issues before we proceed with analytics and decision-making based on the business data. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** SpendHQ enhances data processing, consolidating ERP datasets for efficient consumption and decision-making, with user-friendly analytics improving data quality and strategic planning. ### 4. Top Procurement Intelligence Tool for Spend Analytics **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Media Production | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2025 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** SpendHQ is a great tool for helping Sourcing/Procurement teams with their spend categorizations and vendor normalization. Using SpendHQ makes it easy for our Category Teams to get their specific data and the vendor normalization ensures we capture all the vendors if we're running a report on a specific vendor. The UI is also user friendly, which I appreciate because it makes it less intimidating for less tech savvy individuals to use it. Lastly, the SpendHQ BI Team has also been amazing in assisting with a lot of data issues. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** SpendHQ is not as flexible as I would like it to be and there can still be a lot of improvements. I think mass uploads by Admins would be a great feature. One thing that annoys me is the self normalization, recategorization, preferred vendor tool which takes forever to load. If we're entering quite a bit of vendors for correction, this process can take a lot of time. Additionally, sometimes the recategorizations can be a bit funky. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** SpendHQ helps us solve a lot of uncategorized spend and allows us the ability to look into tail spend. There's opportunities in Sourcing in both those areas and a lot of people can really benefit from it. ### 5. Per Angusta Review David **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David G. | Procurement Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 15, 2025 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** I really like Per Angusta's front end. It's incredibly helpful for presenting complex issues simply and at a glance, which is exactly what management wants to see. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** The configuration in the backend is a bit tricky. You have to work with the tool regularly to understand the configuration and be able to adjust it yourself. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** We try to track our largest projects, measure financial data, and make it transparent for various organizations via Spend HW. With the Spend Analytic Tool, we want to make this as detailed as possible and, ideally, in real time. ### 6. Understandable Product **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 10, 2025 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** - the fact that it's more user-friendly, you can understand easily functionalities - there is a Knowledge Help describing modules - different ways to visualise the data - we can personnalise fields in projects - export data, metadata - modify in mass the configuration like user accesses **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** - the way to personalize dashboards isn't flexible. We can not improve a lot their design, which push us to use Excel more - it's not possible to remove some buttons and functionalities from Pipeline to personalize - when we configure user accesses, not very confortable to manage flexibly the choice of categories - when we export data not possible to choose which column we don't want to display while exporting **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Allow to animate business units in savings' performance ### 7. Great Customer Service, Advanced Functionality and simple user interface **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sarah O. | Global Strategic Sourcing Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2025 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** The SpendHQ interface both in Spend Intelligence and PPM is user friendly allowing user with wide range of capabilities to effectively use the tool. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** Changes to procurement taxonomy can be challenging to update in the tool. Documentation of account data is not maintained as frequently as I'd like. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Spend Classification is our biggest challenge and something we cannot easily do in our ERP system. The self-serve function not only empowers Category managers to be responsible for their own spend but it increases the overall accuracy of our data. ### 8. Excellent product with great account support **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 20, 2025 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** SpendHQ has two primary components. The first is a procurement project management module (PPM), which allows procurement teams to track all of their projects (e.g., renewals, contract negotiations, RFPs, etc.) and the associated savings of those initiatives. The second is a spend analytics solution called Spend Intelligence (SI) that enables Procurement teams to analyze spend across the entire organization, including PO spend, non-PO spend, and credit card spend. You can buy each module separately or together. Our company has both PPM and SI, and they are used almost daily by the sourcing team. The PPM module allows me to track utilization across the team and adjust as necessary and it delivers excellent reporting from a savings perspective. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. The implementation of PPM was about 8 weeks and SI took a little longer because the data integration effort was complex due to the different data sources that needed to be pulled in. The account support from SpendHQ has been very good. In the few instances where we have needed support, their team has been responsive and issues are usually solved quickly. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** There is nothing specifically that I dislike about SpendHQ. I think they should roll out new AI functionality more quickly, as it would increase the value of their solution and help decrease some of the admin work associated with using it. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tracking savings, work utilization and analyzing spend across the organization. ### 9. SpendHQ is a great tool very connected to the Sourcing teams' concerns **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2025 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** It is an easy-to-use solution, pretty quick to implement (mainly performance). The adoption rate is high and it does not require change management but just a first training session. SpdHQ teams are reactive and it's pleasant to work with them. All existing features and new developments are very linked to the real concerns of the procurement teams (sustainability, risk, AI...) **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** The interface between the 2 products (performance & SI) is not completely seemless yet. SI would need to develop additional features to help on the supplier management (supplier clusters...) **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having a central and consistent view of the regional performance and spend is possible thanks to the solution ### 10. Focus on customer needs and pragmatism **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Amandine V. | Director Product Centers Controlling, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2025 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** Great team: they listen, look for options, offer alternatives and stay pragmatic. They always think about future impacts and potential maintenance work for key users when offering solutions. Very smooth implementation: first time ever we finished as planned and as budgeted for a tool implementation in the company. Great access to the team, even after implementation work. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** There is nothing I could think of. They didn’t oversell the capabilities of their solution: that is why it is also such a great experience. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Harmonizing the various opex and capex savings reporting in different independent business units. Provide in real time insights on the procurement performance. ### 11. Excellent experience in the implementation and maintenance phase **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 05, 2025 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** Relevance of consultants during implementation Flexibility and autonomy given to the key user for configuring and updating the platform (no need to wait for support from SpendHQ) Tool used daily by buyers, with quick adoption and a high level of user satisfaction. (The tool is flexible enough to focus on added value). The updates of the solution put into production are robust and reliable. Very few bugs reported. Product vision is committed and ambitious (does not drift with client requests) **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** Difficult feedback loop between declarative performance (Per Angusta) and P&L finance vision Uncorrelated management of economic performance vs non-economic performance (CO2,...) **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Monitoring of the economic performance of our company + (ongoing) environmental performance ### 12. A user-friendly platform for procurement **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Renewables & Environment | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 01, 2025 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** The platform is user-friendly, and it's rare enough to be underlined. A short training or explanation with your colleagues and you will be ready to use it. It also gives a quick overview of your performance, a perfect feature to prepare easily your meetings. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** The platform can still improve, for instance: - Make it easier to find your draft projects and savings - Have reminders to modify your forms from projected to realised **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easy to give an overview of my performance but also the team and moreover procurement team ### 13. Its very efficient in procuring different things for work **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Manju S. | Data Labeling Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2022 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** It has intuitive dashboards, integrated reporting, and stakeholder alignment tools which are really gamechanger. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** I have used it extensively for tracking projects and been very happy with its performance. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** The process of procuring things and people was difficult and had too many people involved which was messy but this has streamlined it. ### 14.

For example, full integrations with ERPs. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Getting to know annual spend. ### 15.

I would like to see a more streamlined program solution. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Category management view is crucial for me to be able to drive performance across countries and subsidiaries.

I love the way I we have worked collaboratively to customise the platform in ways that make it easier for the team, without changing it too much. I really like the ability to built dashboards in the tool. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** I am not a fan of the built in Dashboard tool. I am used to a Microsoft environment so find the limitations of the DevExpress dashboards frustrating. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Better Digital Governance providing Auditable tracking and approvals ### 21. Positive review for SHQ **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2023 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** Being able to filter our data at the drop of a hat.

SpendHQ spend visibility , savings and so much more **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2025 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** The spend and other visibility and the incredibly helpful and knowledgeable team **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** There are some opportunities to modernize some of the tech interfaces but the updates are well under way to my knowledge. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Spend visibility, data visualization, identifying opportunities to save and add value. ### 32. SpendHQ **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2025 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** The visual data helps with the overall understanding of the information **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** Some functions seem to complicated and some data is not as granular as needed. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Gives our company a quick spend data overview ### 33. SpendHQ Adds Significant Value to Savings Efforts **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 09, 2023 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** Customizable categorizations drive insight to category management efforts specific to our organization. Watching trends in spend categories over time allow my team to identify significant changes, leverage growth, and optimize cost management work for the best results. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** Our internal data requires some manual effort on the front end to ensure the upload to SpendHQ is clean and provides actionable insights. For the most part, that is an internal challenge we need to address and our recent ERP implementation will help tremendously with that work. We anticipate Cost center level data from SpendHQ will point our team to areas of opportunity more quickly and allow us to identify critical stakeholders for decision-making. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** SpendHQ provides consolidates our spend information across multiple, nearly independent entities. We are able to see a broader picture of our spend and maximize leverage as the corporate organization enters contracts, collaborates on software solutions across, and works to rationalize spend. ### 34. I would recommend SpendHQ **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Banking | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 15, 2022 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** Its easy to use. Its easy to set up and the price was right. The implementation team was also very good. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** Its a powerful engine so lots to unpack. I just started to use this month so will likely take me several months to unlock all the features. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Spend data enhancement allows me to pull spend by supplier and by cost center so i can see who is spending what with my major suppliers. I also signed up for the supplier diversity scrub which was very helpful. ### 35. High Quality Technology and Strong Customer Support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matt M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 29, 2020 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** The ability to quickly consolidate raw, unstructured data from multiple sources for rapid analysis and click-through reporting. This makes for an extremely compelling speed-to-value business case. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** I wish they would spend more time enhancing the user experience for the more simple, casual user within procurement. Not everyone lives and breathes spend analysis all day so having a simpler UI for some basic use cases would likely drive more internal adoption. **Recommendations to others considering SpendHQ:** The success of any spend analysis relies almost exclusively on the quality and totality of your data. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Lack of visibility is the primary problem we solved for. This also helped us consolidate several areas of indirect spend and create some leverage with our key suppliers. ### 36. Spend HQ is a clear market-leader **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2021 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** Highly configurable, affordable and offers a quick ROI. For those with messy data and no unified system, Spend HQ is genuinely essential to your Enterprise if you wish to deliver real procurement insight. This is a team that can be truly depended upon as the best in the business. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** Smaller firms may struggle to truly gain value from the full capability of the solution. **Recommendations to others considering SpendHQ:** Check out Spend Matters Solution Map and you can see they are market-leaders. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Spend data can be in separated data silos with infrequent updates, messy categorisation, e.g. the same supplier being entered 9 different ways in the ERP! Spend HQ can sit on top of that mess, use logic to convert it into meaningful insight that works not only as a one-off but from that moment onwards with the AI and learning to consistently clean up the bad data. ### 37. SpendHQ Spend Analysis **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Raphael T. | Chair of Project Management Council Boral North America, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2021 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** The implementation was well planned. From the start their team helped us collect, normalize and categorize our data from multiple sources. Everything was then automated; making refreshes a cinch. Beyond that, the platform works great, they're all about providing value-adds and the team is responsive, professional and easy to work with. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** There's nothing I particularly dislike about their platform, but a disadvantage is that their platform doesn't seamlessly integrate into an end to end source-pay system like some other platforms do. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Currently, they are helping us to improve data categorization accuracy and build category strategy dashboards for the purposes of identifying additional savings and tracking compliance. ### 38. Great spend analytics tool and an awesome company to work with! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Taylor D. | Procurement Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2020 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** SpendHQ takes data across multiple systems and outputs it in a very digestible way. There UI is easy to use and presents the data in unique categories, charts, and customizable dashboards. We have loved working with or AM and the analysts who assist with quarterly refreshes as well. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** With the option to customize the dashboards, it can get a bit complex on your own. Luckily, our AM was very helpful and willing to jump on a call to walk us through how to set up what we needed! **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Because we can see spend broken out by categories, we are able to put together a category strategy and dig deeper. ### 39. Excellent tool to analyze spend **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lilia R. | Senior Analyst, Strategic Sourcing & Procurement, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2021 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** The new analytics dashboard is very easy to use and allows you to keep track of changes in the spend, overall, and in specific areas. Customer service is always amazing. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** It will be useful to have more ways to play with the graphs and the way that you export the dashboards **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's really useful to analyze spend across the company, resolving the problem of capturing the spend in one location regardless of the resource where the spend was captured. ### 40. Easy Spend Analytics Tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2020 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** Spend HQ is a user friendly spend analytics tool. They customize their features to fit the need of the business and guide you through how to navigate the tool (it is easily able to be self taught as well). I like that this is an easy platform to log onto and visually see the spend of the business. Customizable dashboards are great! **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** The one thing I would prefer is to have the same analyst assigned to assist with our quarterly refreshes each time. Just a personal preference to get a repeat person who is familiar with the business and exact data. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Spend HQ allows me to accurately turn over data that is requested for a short deadline. We no longer have to filter through multiple stakeholders to turn over accurate numbers. ### 41. Source of Truth for our company **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David S. | Procurement Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2020 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** Good job of improving from version 1.0 to version 2.0. It's the single Source of Truth for our spend data. Customer service and dashboards provide great functionality. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** It would be nice to have one analyst assigned to our account instead of the three we have had. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** As the Source of Truth it is the go-to for anyone in our department with a spend-related question. Much more efficient in gathering and analyzing data than the way we did it in the past. ### 42. Strong Technology Supported by a Great Client Support Team **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael K. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 30, 2020 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** The platforms gives my sourcing leaders direction on where we have the largest opportunity for impact. To understand the sub-categories that may have to many suppliers or where the spend is not being managed or even where a trend with a supplier has variation. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** The time it takes at the end of a period prior to reporting being available. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are constantly looking for new and better ways to customize reports. This is an advantage with SpendHQ, it has the flexibility to customize as needed. So you will always be looking for a new way to utilize the data to identify something new. ### 43. SpendHQ - Accurate Data & Easy Implementation **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2020 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** SpendHQ is a "Best in Class" spend analytics tool. It is customized specifically for your business, and only took 4 weeks to implement. Together we executed multiple stakeholder reviews to further validate the categorization in the tool. The team has expertise in procurement and leverages this knowledge to continue to improve the technology. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** The solution as it stands today is focused on Spend Analytics, so some of the other sourcing tools (ex. Contract Management) are not supported. However, SpendHQ has clearly laid out the roadmap over the next 24 months that close these gaps. They continue to raise the bar for Spend Analytics. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** The SpendHQ solution allows me to accurately categorize Indirect Spend across the organization. We have 98%+ of the spend categorized. There is also a module that provides visibility to spend under management and compliant spend with preferred suppliers. This allows the procurement team to expand our areas of influence and address spend with non-preferred suppliers. ### 44. Great new 2.0 platform **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** James H. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 03, 2020 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** The new platform is faster and more customizable than before. I can run all kinds of reports by vendor, GL, department, and location. Those reports are not just to export the data but to create customized dashboards to share with team members and create graphs within the online platform. The compliance module allows you find real opportunities within your business and build reports and dashboards to share with senior leadership on how your sourcing programs are going. There's a lot of tools that you can take advantage of and two months in we're still learning the bells and whistles **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** It's almost too customizable so you have to set aside some time to learn the platform and build your dashboards for the less tech savvy members of the team. As of the time of this review it doesn't support Microsoft explorer **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Compliance. We're under going a massive preferred supplier audit to see how well our current sourcing programs are working after launch. The ability of this platform show us the compliance levels of a given category or subcategory are really impressive and have shined a light on where some of the gaps are. Once we complete a data audit we'll also use this tool to find sourcing opportunities as well. ### 45. Ease of use drives real results that are fact-based **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 09, 2020 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** SpendHQ is easy to use and allows us visibility into our spend and spend trends in an understandable format. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** SpendHQ could do a better job of making it understandable for the average user why they would care about particular metrics within the tool. SpendHQ could do a better job of explaining why these are important to the user. SpendHQ could make the platform even more intuitive (especially how to pull up the transactional detail). **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** SpendHQ helps any organization understand the basics: what are we spending, with who, and for what? It helps us have a fact-based approach to our category strategies. Spend is a fact. Having a fact-based conversation with stakeholders is a mature supply management approach. FY20 P&L improvement as facilitated by Supply was nearly $20M, net of inflation. SpendHQ helped us achieve this. ### 46. SpendHQ Experience **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2021 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** SpendHQ makes viewing your spend extremely easy and transparent. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** The only downside to SpendHQ is not being able to self classify vendors and having to go through a data refresh in order to ensure data is accurate. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using SpendHQ to see gaps in spend related to contracts. The benefits are being able to see exactly where our firm's money is spent. ### 47. SpendHQ Review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paul T. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2020 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** First off, the SpendHQ team has been very responsive to our needs and request. They are proactive about seeking feedback whenever possible and are great about helping us stay on track whether it be data refreshes or any requested training on the platform. Secondly, the tool especially with the updated platform has been really easy to navigate. It is more intuitive and more flexible to allow us to create the views that we would like to see. The ability of the platform to handle such massive amounts of data and generate reports at a rapid pace has been a life saver in many instances especially last minute request that may come up. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** Honestly there is not any complaints that I can personally think of. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** We never had complete visibility to all of the spend across our organization until we got SpendHQ. With greater visibility, we are now able to proactively reach out to our stakeholders and identify opportunities that can benefit the organization as a whole and also allow us to quantify the benefits so to better prioritize. ### 48. Spend HQ is Best In Class Spend Analytics Tool for Financial Services Industry! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2020 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** Spend HQ 2.0 is a best-in-class spend analytics tool that is easy to use, has excellent reporting capability, an enhanced analytics module, preferred supplier / category management functionality, and improved data visualization. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** Continue to develop the diversity spend capability. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Utilizing Spend HQ as our spend analytics tool and also category management tool for spend under management. ### 49. SpendHQ provides visibility to sourcing opportunities **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Plastics | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 03, 2020 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** The implementation was quick and efficient **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** The online training modules could be better and provide more details on how to fully utilize the system's capabilities. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** SpendHQ has provided us with visibility to spend data across multiple operating companies and enabled us to identify opportunities for sourcing collaboration. ### 50. SpendHQ has been instrumental in providing visibility into our spend. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Erika M. | Sr Director, Head of Procurement Center of Excellence, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2020 **What do you like best about SpendHQ?** SpendHQ does not require specialized skills to analyze and present the data to our business partners which is one of the reasons we selected the tool when comparing it to others. With the added flexibility offered by the analytics capabilities in the 2.0 release, it is even easier for the Procurement team to share data insights using simple to build custom dashboards. **What do you dislike about SpendHQ?** While the functionality of the tool is robust, the maturity of the support features and process (product roadmap, release management, etc) has been less mature. SpendHQ has expressed that they are applying a greater focus to mature in this area and we have seen significant progress in recent months. **What problems is SpendHQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Prior to SpendHQ, we struggled to achieve visibility into our spend. The data from our ERP was not designed to provide the categorization that was needed by Procurement and the categorization process was time consuming. We were paying consultants to do the spend categorization and using Microsoft office products to share the data. We struggled to analyze the data because the data set was very large and we were pushing the limits of Microsoft Excel and our laptop processing capabilities to analyze the data. - [View SpendHQ pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/spendhq/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-13+08%3A24%3A45+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=481bce25-618c-4c87-9831-18ac46cc0f3e&secure%5Btoken%5D=e996d03bb72caebe1d73f6113fb1501036c2e20be86767dd52f0b0ed46766446&format=llm_user) ## SpendHQ Integrations - [Coupa](https://www.g2.com/products/coupa-software-coupa/reviews) - [Market Dojo](https://www.g2.com/products/market-dojo/reviews) - [Microsoft Power BI](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-microsoft-power-bi/reviews) - [NetSuite](https://www.g2.com/products/netsuite/reviews) - [SAP Concur](https://www.g2.com/products/sap-concur/reviews) - [Snowflake](https://www.g2.com/products/snowflake/reviews) - [Supplier.io](https://www.g2.com/products/supplier-io/reviews) - [Workday HCM](https://www.g2.com/products/workday-hcm/reviews) ## SpendHQ Features **Setup** - Data - Approvals - Alignment **Data Management** - Consolidation - Classification - External Sources - Integration - Cleaning **Agentic AI - Accounts Payable (AP) and Spend Analysis** - Decision Making **Performance** - KPIs - Benchmarks - Savings **Analytics** - Benchmarking - KPIs - Compliance - Errors **Reporting** - Multiple Views - Export - Budgets **Payments** - Recurring **Agentic AI - Spend Management** - Proactive Assistance ## Top SpendHQ Alternatives - [Ramp](https://www.g2.com/products/ramp-financial-ramp/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (2,392 reviews) - [SAP Ariba](https://www.g2.com/products/sap-ariba/reviews) - 4.1/5.0 (709 reviews) - [Navan (Formerly TripActions)](https://www.g2.com/products/navan-formerly-tripactions/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (8,924 reviews)
