Challenges
Tackling procurement challenges in the retail & wholesale industry
Ignite brings all your procurement and sustainability data and tools together in one platform for a unified view of costs, emissions, and risks across your supply chain.
High pressure on margins
High pressure on margins and costs is a constant battle, and lack of control over indirect spend can lead to missed savings opportunities.
Lack of spend transparency
Data fragmentation, especially when multiple ERP systems are involved, makes it difficult to get a clear overview of spend and suppliers.
Limited supplier information
Choosing reliable suppliers shouldn’t be a guessing game. Without complete supplier information, you risk delays, poor quality, compliance issues, and unexpected costs.
Scattered emissions data
Data scattered across various systems makes calculating and reporting scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions hard. It complicates your efforts to comply with legislation, reduce emissions, and hit sustainability targets.
