OSLO, 29 September 2026, Ignite, the leading Nordic procurement and supplier intelligence platform, is entering a strategic partnership with Inventura, Norway's largest procurement consultancy. Under the partnership, Inventura's consultants will use Ignite as the data foundation in analysis and advisory projects for clients in the private and public sector.

This partnership builds on previous joint success cases combining Inventura’s industry expertise and regulatory knowledge with Ignite’s procurement and supplier intelligence platform.

Together, the companies are replacing manual workflows with automation and giving greater control to clients in order to drive cost savings, reduce risks, and strengthen supplier performance.

"Procurement teams are often compare and choose between advisors and software. Our view is that the strongest results come from both," said Sigbjørn Nome, CEO at Ignite. "Inventura brings category and regulatory expertise, and we bring a data foundation their consultants can work from on day one. The results continue to compound in Ignite after the project is complete."

"The hardest part of procurement advisory isn't the analysis. It's making sure the client can keep working with it after we leave," said Matias Haukom, Partner and COO at Inventura. "When the analysis lives in a platform the client owns, our work keeps delivering long into the future."
