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 offers a subscription-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) model that helps clients save time and money while gaining better control over their purchasing. The goal is to reduce procurement cycle times by up to 40%, leading to substantial cost savings for businesses.
