AppDirect Listed as a Sample Vendor in Gartner Hype Cycle Report for Procurement

San Francisco, Calif. – October 19, 2020 – AppDirect®, the leading subscription commerce platform company, today announced that it has been included as a sample vendor in the recent Gartner Hype Cycle for Procurement and Sourcing Solutions, 2020[1].

In the Hype Cycle for Procurement and Sourcing Solutions report, Garter identified AppDirect as a sample vendor in the Tail Spend Procurement category. As Gartner explains: "Tail spend procurement solutions can unlock additional savings for the procurement organization. Actively managing tail spend increases spend visibility and coverage, operational efficiency and improves purchasing controls. End users can still make one time purchases they require to do their jobs without adding to procurement’s workload. Integrating tail spend procurement solutions into existing procurement technology organizations drives purchasing policy compliance and reduces risk."

"The value of digital channels for customers is clear, but they are also an increasingly critical tool for employees who need quick, seamless access to the solutions that can help them do their jobs more effectively," said Dan Saks, co-CEO of AppDirect. "We believe being recognized by Gartner as a sample vendor for procurement underscores the versatility and value of the AppDirect platform for enterprises that want to gain greater control of their sourcing processes and spend."

AppDirect’s subscription commerce platform enables employees to make software and hardware purchases within a dedicated procurement marketplace. Consisting of a curated catalog, each marketplace integrates with customers’ existing pay-to-procure systems and policies to deliver purchasing control and visibility into tail spend.
