Fairmarkit improves the procurement process by focusing on "tail spend," which includes smaller purchases that can add up significantly. The platform uses machine learning to streamline sourcing, vendor identification, and automate quoting, making the bid-to-buy process faster and more efficient. Unlike competitors, Fairmarkit operates on a subscription-based SaaS model, providing tools that help clients manage their procurement effectively and save time and money. The company's goal is to transform how businesses handle their tail spend, leading to better control and significant cost savings.
