Proud to Be a Leader in the 'Strategy, Process & Performance' Category

We are particularly proud to be recognized in the ‘Strategy, Process & Performance’ category, which highlights solutions that enable procurement teams to push for higher excellence. At akirolabs, we have redefined strategic procurement, providing businesses with the tools to drive sustainable, long-term value.

Our innovative category management SaaS platform challenges the conventional procurement model, which has remained largely unchanged since 1983. By shifting focus from procurement-only power dynamics to business-aligned strategies, akirolabs enables procurement teams to achieve higher value creation, unlocking the true potential of strategic procurement.

akirolabs: Redefining Category Management

For nearly 40 years, procurement has been dominated by a traditional category management approach that prioritizes cost reduction and power-driven negotiations. However, in today’s rapidly evolving business environment, procurement must go beyond these transactional processes to drive greater business alignment and value.

akirolabs Next Gen Category Management framework makes category management truly strategic. Our platform integrates internal and external insights, advanced analytics, and collaboration workflows to help organizations develop and execute strategies that align with broader business goals, rather than just cutting costs.

This recognition in the ProcureTech100 list validates our vision for transforming category management and highlights how akirolabs helps organizations evolve along the procurement maturity curve.
