"Agile-1 has managed suppliers on behalf of our clients for over two decades. During that time we've learned that one of the greatest pain points for procurement organizations is making buying decisions in the absence of reliable data," said David Lewis, Senior Vice President for Agile-1. "Our goal was to give clients a tool that solves this issue by providing detailed, real-time information about their entire supply base to facilitate smarter purchasing decisions."
DriveSRM joins Agile-1's existing portfolio of services procurement technologies which includes solutions for engaging independent contractors and managing statement of work projects. Like its predecessors, the tool is highly flexible and can be customized to support each client's unique business processes, while at the same time delivering appropriate policy controls to mitigate risks.
"The Agile-1 name is based on our mission to create innovations that help our clients remain agile in a complex, global market," said Peter Carvalho, President of Agile-1. "DriveSRM addresses the critical relationships between a company and its suppliers—an area of significant competitive advantage when managed effectively."
