Sourced: The Modern SAP Ariba Alternative.
Ariba earns its reputation at global-enterprise scale; most teams pay for that scale without using it. Sourced does the procurement automation with AI, deploys in weeks, and prices in plain USD.
The problem
SAP Ariba was designed for multinationals, and it shows. Implementation is measured in months and consultants, the learning curve is real, and two years in, many teams are using a fraction of what they license.
The solution
Sourced is built for teams that want results before the next quarter. Implementation takes 1-2 weeks, pricing is transparent in USD, operations are US-based, and the AI talks to suppliers over plain email, so they never have to register on anything.
Implementation in weeks; Ariba projects run in months
