BravoSolution experienced strong demand for its strategic procurement technology and services across a variety of geographic and vertical markets in 2014. Almost 100 new and existing customers looking to deliver increased strategic business value deployed more software suite capabilities in 2014. New customers and activations include one of the largest financial management companies in the world, one of the top five retailers in North America and one of the largest transportation and logistics companies globally.

"Growth in the combined sourcing and supplier management software markets will exceed 15 percent per year between 2015 and 2017," said Jason Busch, Founder and Manager Director, Spend Matters. "While much of the hype within procurement and finance technology can be attributed to transactional procurement areas, more companies are seeing the financial value of leveraging strategic procurement solutions that deliver a higher return on investment. In many cases, large-scale, strategic procurement implementations can regularly yield seven to eight figures of hard dollar savings - all while reducing risk and providing great supply chain visibility."

Additional highlights for BravoSolution in 2014 include:

• Widespread new customer adoption across various industries such as transportation and logistics, manufacturing and the public sector.
• More than $500 billion of procurement spend managed through BravoSolution technologies

"Our customers are constantly taking a more strategic approach to procurement, specifically by enabling supplier innovation, powering real-time performance optimization and collaborating with suppliers to increase supply chain visibility and reduce global risk. As more companies see the benefits of this type of approach, we expect to see even more demand in 2015."
