Higher EBITDA across every portfolio company
Get transparency into spend, suppliers, and contracts across your portfolio companies. Our AI agents and proprietary data help you find and deliver savings faster.
Tackling procurement challenges across a private equity portfolio
Exits are harder and holding periods are longer, so you need to grow margins and cash flow in each company while you own it. The challenge is finding savings when every business has their own systems.
Spend data is inconsistent across companies
Each company handles data their own way, from systems and categories to supplier names. Building one view takes weeks in Excel.
Companies miss out on group buying power
Many companies buy the same things, like software licenses. Buying separately makes it hard to spot overlap and negotiate better terms.
Portfolio companies lack procurement staff
Many have one buyer, or none. They struggle to deliver savings and build skills the company keeps after you sell.
Value creation is hard to prove
Each company tracks savings differently, if at all. Results won't compare across the portfolio, and there's little to show buyers at exit.
Enabling you to find savings opportunities across your portfolio companies
Portfolio companies are often a good place to find savings. As they grow, they gain leverage with suppliers who want them as customers. And since teams are busy growing the business, a lot of spend isn't analyzed.
One data foundation for every company
Ignite pulls data from every system into one place, even when formats differ. AI agents classify spend and merge duplicate suppliers, so you can compare companies side by side. Drill down from the full portfolio to any company or category using dashboards, or ask questions in plain language.
