Category Partner: Candex
Candex is a spend consolidator that provides an easy, fast, and compliant way for large companies to make purchases from small and one-time vendors. All purchases through Candex are fast, automated and under approved POs using an existing P2P process – often delivered as a punchout catalogue.
The impact of our technology is significant. By directing only 5% of indirect spend through Candex, our clients remove 70-80% of the vendors from their vendor master. This brings harmony, simplicity, and consistency to a part of the supply chain that yesterday caused a lot of pain for a lot of folks.
