Challenges
Tackling procurement challenges in the manufacturing industry
Ignite brings all your procurement and sustainability data and tools together in one platform for a unified view of costs, emissions, and risks across your supply chain.
Lack of insight at item or product level
Tracking price developments and comparing suppliers is challenging without detailed item or product level data, leading to missed cost-saving opportunities.
High pressure on margins
Low margins and tough supplier negotiations make precise data and insights critical for finding cost-saving opportunities and staying competitive.
Lack of supplier categorization
Without clear categorization, keeping track of approved suppliers and assessing social risks becomes difficult, making it hard to ensure compliance and find the best suppliers.
Scattered emissions data
Data scattered across various systems makes calculating and reporting scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions hard. It complicates your efforts to comply with legislation, reduce emissions, and hit sustainability targets.
