Description

Company Overview

At Procure Analytics (PA), we are passionate about driving continuous value by utilizing cutting-edge technology and implementing customized solutions in various categories to service our 900 member companies.

Headquartered in Atlanta, PA was founded to address the complex challenges of frequently ignored indirect and tail spend categories of Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO), Packaging, and Freight. PA combines $1.5b of purchasing leverage and supplier relationships, together with dedicated advisors, proprietary analytics, and artificial intelligence, to drive ongoing value and supply chain resiliency for our members. PA’s analytical and reporting tools offer the insight needed to optimize MRO, Packaging, and Freight – all at no cost to members.

In the last decade, PA has grown from 2 employees and $5 million in total managed spend to over 100 employees and more than $1.5 billion dollars in spend, while maintaining its high-touch service model and member-focus. 

PA has a very collaborative, humble, and values-driven culture that upholds these guiding principles:

• Act with integrity and in compliance
• Drive value creation
• Be disciplined entrepreneurs
• Be innovative
• Be accountable
• Treat others with dignity and respect
