Excel vs Ignite
Excel wasn’t built for modern procurement. Ignite is.
Spreadsheets require manual effort and rely on outdated, disconnected data. Ignite brings everything together — suppliers, spend, contracts, emissions, and more — in a structured, easy-to-use platform. Work smarter with workflows, visibility, and enriched insights that help you make an impact.

Why Ignite stands out
What’s the difference between Excel and Ignite?
Procurement teams need more than spreadsheets. Ignite turns fragmented data into a reliable, centralized source of truth — so you can eliminate manual work, make informed decisions, and drive measurable impact.
Connected, reliable insights
Excel requires constant manual updates, leaving data outdated and siloed. Ignite centralizes, cleans, harmonizes, and classifies procurement data, keeping it accurate, up-to-date, and actionable. Gain a complete view of suppliers, connected to spend, contracts, emissions, and more.
Efficient, scalable decision-making
Making sense of procurement data shouldn’t require complex formulas, manual effort, or slow-loading spreadsheets. Ignite delivers structured insights by supplier, category, and business unit — so you can quickly analyze trends, act on opportunities, and scale your impact.
Transparency and collaborative workflows
Spreadsheets lack version control and make collaboration difficult. Ignite provides structured workflows, tracks historical performance, and logs every action — giving you full traceability, from cost-saving initiatives to ESG reporting.
