PowerBI vs Ignite
PowerBI visualizes data. Ignite turns it into action.
Power BI helps analyze procurement data, but it wasn’t built to manage suppliers, track compliance, or drive strategic decisions. Ignite transforms raw data into connected, enriched insights — so you can act confidently and make a real impact.

Why Ignite stands out
What’s the difference between PowerBI and Ignite?
Procurement teams need more than dashboards. Ignite consolidates supplier, spend, contract, emissions, and risk data into a structured, easy-to-use platform — so you can move beyond static reports and turn insights into action.
Connected, reliable insights
Power BI requires manual configurations and complex queries. Ignite centralizes, cleans, harmonizes, and classifies procurement data, giving you access to actionable insights without the need for custom builds. Easily manage suppliers in one place, from approval status and contracts to performance, risks, and emissions.
Efficient and purpose-built for procurement
Building procurement dashboards from scratch takes time. Ignite provides structured, ready-to-use insights on suppliers, categories, and business units, so you can make faster, data-driven decisions without spending hours wrangling data and adjusting queries.
Collaboration and activity logs for transparency
Power BI is built for reporting, not execution. Ignite provides structured workflows, historical tracking, and activity logs, so every procurement initiative, from cost savings to ESG reporting, is transparent and auditable.
