Join The Hackett Group’s Solution Intelligence team on April 15 at 11 AM EST as they host “The Future of Procurement Technology: Leaders, Challengers and Game-Changers,” a webinar covering the rationale behind the compilation of this year’s Procurement Technology Recognition Lists.
Each year the Solution Intelligence analyst team rigorously assesses the capabilities of procurement technology solutions across market sectors to arrive at a list that now totals 117 solution providers. These lists are:
- The 50 to Watch, those we believe offer the latest and most innovative solutions on the market
- The 50 to Know, the firms that set the industry standard and which every senior procurement or supply chain professional should know about
- The Future 5, the most impressive procurement technology start-ups
- The Hall of Fame, vendors that have become synonymous with procurement tech itself
These lists represent the best-in-class solutions that the industry needs to know about and the up-and-coming, growing providers to keep an eye on.
Note: For the 2025–2026 lists, The Hackett Group® evaluated approximately 220 procurement technology vendors globally. Eligibility for inclusion was based on participation in product demonstrations, enabling a consistent and objective assessment across all vendors evaluated.
