Opstream has proven to be an invaluable tool for our business, providing us with much-needed visibility into our spending habits and allowing us to control costs in real-time. We initially brought it in as a cost-management measure, but soon realized that our lack of visibility into spend before it was committed was limiting our ability to control costs. Prior to Opstream, reviewing every purchase was not scalable for us. Opstream quickly allowed us to organize all purchases and gain real-time visibility into our spend. This has given me the ability to control costs more effectively and make better decisions.

Opstream has been a game-changer for our company’s purchasing approval process and visibility. Opstream’s UX is excellent, and the platform is very user-friendly. We were able to roll out the system to the entire company without any formal training, and everyone was able to start using it right away. The streamlined workflow and intuitive interface make it simple for anyone on our team to quickly approve or reject requests significantly lowering the overhead on the approving teams, and the platform’s automated notifications ensure that nothing falls through the cracks. One of the features we appreciate most is the ability to add external stakeholders, such as outside counsel or fractional CISO, only when necessary. By doing so, we are better utilizing those resources and ensuring that they are only involved in decisions that require their expertise. This has helped us streamline our process and reduce unnecessary back-and-forth, ultimately saving us time and money. Another great benefit of using Opstream is the platform’s ability to identify missed certifications. During our implementation, we discovered that we were using a system that didn’t verify required certifications, which added unnecessary risk to our operations. With Opstream, we can ensure that everything going forward is aligned with our security requirements, and we have peace of mind knowing that we are in compliance.
