Scaling Procurement Without Adding Headcount

How our Customer Enabled Growth Without Growing Overhead

Our Customer, a mission-driven staffing and recruiting company focused on placing U.S. military veterans into commercial IT roles, has a powerful vision for impact and growth. As demand for their services accelerated, so did the strain on their internal procurement processes.

Rather than immediately expanding their headcount, they needed a solution to support increasing procurement volume—efficiently, intelligently, and sustainably.
