We are happy to inform you that the Norwegian scaleup Semine has joined forces with Ignite. Semine delivers an intelligent automation platform for accounts payable that changes the finance function with AI and Machine Learning. The partnership will create fully integrated platforms that will help companies get a line-item level detail of their spend data and thereby enable a whole new dimension for procurement optimization.

"This partnership expands our offerings and gives additional value to our clients," says Inger Eek Tronerud, Partner Lead in Semine. "Our company's goal is to be the best at account payable automation, and we need strong partners who can enrich the platform with solutions that are relevant to our customers. By working with Ignite, we will be able to combine both world-class automation and rich data insight, which is unique in the market.

"We not only will be able to provide our customers a clear, robust picture of their spend but also enable them to take actionable steps towards better spend management."

Spend visibility is an important part of any company's buying process. Line-item level detail of spend data enables a precise view of spending with each supplier and for each commodity on an organizational, departmental, project, and buyer basis. This is critical for many companies looking to reduce their spending by identifying cost-saving opportunities and reducing waste in the system.

"We are proud to partner with Semine as they look to further improve the buying process for their clients. Our solutions will complement the existing offerings that they have available to clients and help them achieve even greater savings while reducing time spent on procurement tasks," said Sigbjørn Nome, Chief Executive Officer and Product Director of Ignite Procurement.

Børge Langedal, Chief Revenue Officer and co-founder of Ignite Procurement, remarked that the data Semine provides gives his company a sound foundation for its business. "Semine revolutionizes accounting by providing high-quality and robust data, which is the perfect basis for our business: transforming procurement by using spend data to generate tangible value for our customers," he said.

He further adds, "Our complementary products yield obvious synergies and create a powerful offering in the marketplace."
