ivoflow also receives Customer Value distinction in Spend Analytics Koblenz, April 30th, 2026 — ivoflow, provider of a spend and price intelligence platform, today announced it has been recognized as a validated provider in The Hackett Group’s Spring 2026 SolutionMap, the industry’s most rigorous, data-driven benchmark for procurement technology. ivoflow was evaluated as part of an assessment spanning 118 vendors across 16 source-to-pay (S2P) categories.
In addition to its SolutionMap Validated status, ivoflow received a Customer Value distinction in Spend Analytics, recognizing its high degree of innovation, customer orientation, and industry expertise.
SolutionMap assessments are conducted by The Hackett Group’s Solution Intelligence analysts, formerly the Spend Matters™ analyst team. Each evaluation is built on 500+ detailed functional and capability criteria, mandatory product demonstrations, and impartial, anonymized, verified customer value ratings. The result is an independent, evidence-based view of the procurement technology landscape – one that procurement leaders actively rely on when evaluating solutions, building business cases and gaining internal buy-in for technology investments. For technology providers, SolutionMap Validated status represents credible, third-party confirmation of their solution’s strengths in a market where differentiation is increasingly difficult to establish and easy to question.
“The cost of a mis-buy is higher than ever – and AI marketing is making it harder to see what truly works,” said Carina Kuhl, Principal, Solution Intelligence at The Hackett Group® . “SolutionMap gives leaders confirmation they can defend: clear shortlists, credible comparisons and reality-checked capability insight to support stakeholder buy-in.”
As AI-enabled capabilities become more widely embedded across procurement platforms, the bar for meaningful differentiation continues to rise. Procurement professionals are making technology decisions that carry real consequences – for their organizations’ performance and their own credibility. SolutionMap is designed to give them the facts they need to select best-fit solutions with confidence, and give providers a trusted platform to demonstrate why they belong on the shortlist.
“We are honored to earn SolutionMap Validated recognition from The Hackett Group®,” said Nicolas Neubauer , Co-Founder and Managing Director of ivoflow. “At ivoflow, our mission is to enable procurement teams in the manufacturing industry to uncover savings opportunities and turn complex procurement data into clear strategies and negotiation-ready actions. This recognition reflects independent validation of our solution’s capabilities and the real-world value we deliver to our customers, and we are proud to be included among the providers shaping the future of procurement technology.”
