High ROI for Procurement
Financial and productivity value is baked into our solutions and validated by a top independent research firm.
Why is ROI so Important?
Procurement is measured on both the financial and non-financial value it produces for the business, so a new solution needs clear payback in a relatively short time.
We also know from experience that a strong business case is the backbone of budget approvals. Total cost of ownership, impact on the team, and expected financial return are key pieces of information, so SpendHQ offers helpful resources for identifying them early.

Procurement ROI Studies – Backed By Customer Experience
SpendHQ’s ROI calculator wasn’t the only result of Hobson & Company’s customer research. The firm also published two papers based on its findings.
These papers quantify the increased value customers have captured in cost savings and containment, productivity, and ESG progress. Particularly, the study found that a representative customer with $2 billion in annual spend volume and $1 billion in addressable spend can see:
- Spend Intelligence payback in less than 5 months and 660% ROI over 3 years
- Procurement Performance Management payback in less than 3 months and 814% ROI over 3 years

VP Global Procurement Strategy
Even in a very challenging environment and volatile markets, our year over year savings targets continue to grow with PPM.”
VP Procurement
Prior to SpendHQ… my 5-person analytics team would spend 25% of their time aggregating and analyzing data. Now we have one dedicated person that is spending about 10-15% of their time, and anyone who needs the data can login and access it directly themselves.”
Sourcing Director
Prior to PPM, we had 25 people spending 2 weeks aggregating the data and the report would go out every 2 months and needed validation for every single line. It was a huge effort because people working on it were from different organizations and it was challenging. Once we put PPM in place, that all changed.”
