The Spend Matters ESG technology series and analysis of 7 vendors led our PRO analyst coverage for August 2021

Spend Matters’ PRO content brings you the deepest and widest variety of analyst coverage of vendors in the procurement technology space, and this monthly post will recap why the vendors and issues covered in August are important.

Each month, our analyst team provides vendor-specific profiles and overviews. Using our SolutionMap benchmark data from 75 solutions, we also do comparative analyses of vendors against each other in our head-to-head columns, or we highlight a vendor versus the SolutionMap average scores in a “What Makes It Great” post. Also, our analyst coverage explores the latest thought-leadership topics about the sector.

In this August roundup, we review our coverage of seven vendors (Zip; PRO Unlimited and Workforce Logiq; a Coupa update; Periscope’s acquisition; and comparative analyses of Tradeshift and Promena) — as well as discuss our latest insights on two key topics: ESG support using S2P technology and the biggest mistake vendors can make when integrating two technologies post-acquisition.
