Procurence, a Polish procurement software company shortlisted for World Procurement Awards 2022 - the most prestigious award in the industry

The World Procurement Awards, this year in its 15th edition, are recognised as the pinnacle of professional achievement, celebrating the most impressive individuals, teams, and organisations in procurement - in short, they are the equivalent of the Oscars® in the procurement world. This year's gala ceremony - and the announcement of winners in each category will take place on 15th June in London and will be attended by 700+ CPOs and senior procurement leaders of largest global companies.

Procurence, shortlisted in the "Procurement Technology Provider Award" category, is an innovative Polish software company, offering solutions for Procurement, Supply Chain, and Quality Management departments under the brand Meercat®. Although still in early scale-up phase, Procurence already won a number of global customers, whose combined turnover is approx. $160 bn! (for comparison, this is ¼ of the GDP of Poland, where the company is located)

Entries were reviewed by an independent judging panel consisting of leading senior procurement executives from companies like Starbucks, Heineken, Bank of America and more. Kai Nowosel, CPO, Accentur e commented: "I am deeply impressed by the quality of the submissions and the level of detail they contained. It is clear from these submissions that by transforming procurement functions, there is a direct and positive correlation to procurement value creation and the company performance."

The list of other shortlisted companies includes AstraZeneca, Bayer, DHL, Diageo, Docusign, EY, GSK, Heineken, Kantar, JLL, Rolls-Royce, Unilever, Volvo to name but a few most recognizable "household" brands.

"Shortlisting for the World Procurement Awards is in itself an acknowledgement that we are among the globally most innovative software companies, although we have high hopes to be the winners.", says Maciej Zaleski-Ejgierd, CEO of Procurence. "In our industry, we are the most Polish company in the world at the moment, although, because we operate in the B2B market, our brand is not instantly recognizable."

Even successful companies continuously face external pressures - (1) faster product cycles that require them to continuously innovate, (2) increased competition that puts pressure on cost reduction and (3) continuously increasing risk levels. These are complex issues, requiring coordinated response across many departments - any solutions that only address the need of one department alone - are no longer adequate.

Procurence's submission "Generating value through multidisciplinary collaboration" showcased the implementation of procurence Meercat® platform at AGCO Corp. (AGCO Corp. is Fortune 500 agricultural equipment manufacturer, owner of brands like Fendt®, Challenger®, Massey Fergusson® and GSI®).

"The flexibility and know-how of Procurence team helped us reach an outstanding level of coordination and collaboration between Procurement, Quality and our suppliers, leading to improve communications, increased supply risk awareness and shorter development time globally.", praises Francisco Vidales, Director, Procurement Excellence at AGCO Corp.
