Spend Matters Fall 2025 SolutionMap Names Exiger Value Leader for Third Consecutive Report

Exiger Earns Category's Highest Functional Scores in Third Party Risk Management and Supply Chain Risk Management

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Exiger, the market-leading supply chain AI company and largest provider of supply chain technology to the U.S. Federal Government, announced today that it is a top-ranked procurement technology provider in Spend Matters™ Fall 2025 SolutionMap, which spotlights 115 vendors. For the third consecutive report, Exiger has been recognized as a Value Leader.

"We're honored to once again be recognized by Spend Matters in its new SolutionMap," said Exiger CEO Brandon Daniels. "This recognition reflects what we hear every day from our customers – procurement and supply chain leaders need clarity, speed and confidence in their decisions. Exiger's mission is to give them that advantage through world-class AI, helping them not only to manage risk but also to uncover opportunities for efficiency and resilience."

Exiger received the highest functional scores in both the TPRM and SCRM categories of Spend Matters Fall 2025 SolutionMap. Exiger also received the highest overall score of any vendor in Supply Chain Risk Management.

"Many people don't realize how long it takes for procurement organizations to align stakeholders, define requirements, write an RFP and secure budget for procurement technology despite the value they know it will bring," says Carina Kuhl, CEO, Spend Matters, a Hackett Group Division. "The process dominates their day to day and causes a lot of stress."

"Beyond feature/function, we look at the platform elements to see what's real and what's not," said Pierre Mitchell, Distinguished Analyst, Spend Matters, a Hackett Group Division. "Some users look for configurability; others don't. We reflect buyer needs against, for instance, the application of AI, user experience or low-code platforms. With SolutionMap, procurement has this information at their fingertips."

SolutionMap evaluates both new and established vendors, combining rigorous request for information – technical assessments with verified customer ratings. This methodology ensures transparent, evidence-based comparisons that help organizations identify the right technology partners with confidence. The Hackett Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCKT), a leading Gen AI consultancy and executive advisory firm, publishes the Spend Matters SolutionMap twice a year.

This acknowledgement builds on additional recognition in 2025.
