COMPARISON
Are you seeking future-proof procurement analytics built for enterprises with Sievo? Or settling for a short-term fix with SpendHQ?
The difference isn't just in features - it's in the data quality foundation, the depth of the insights, the support in execution and the long-term value your procurement organization will achieve.
SpendHQ merged its spend analytics with Per Angusta's project management tools in 2022 to connect data analysis with value realization. While this supports project tracking and savings management, SpendHQ still struggles with limited spend visibility and shallow analytics. It's a decent starting point, but while they focus on closing one loop, they miss the broader value opportunities beyond it.
Sievo provides a rock-solid data foundation with quality guarantees and unmatched spend visibility. We leverage one of the largest databases in procurement analytics, bringing together all your data in one place: internal systems, third-party sources, curated public data, and peer benchmarks from the Sievo community.
Instead of just creating dashboards, Sievo delivers automated insights and recommendations that help you identify and prioritize savings opportunities instantly. You can act on those opportunities directly within the solution, with advanced AI automating repetitive tasks.
Sievo isn't just for procurement—it's a company-wide resource. Sustainability teams use it to improve ESG performance. Finance teams rely on it for budgeting and forecasting. And we deliver cleansed, enriched data back to your systems for any business need.

Most spend analytics tools, including SpendHQ, tell you what you spent. Sievo goes further by helping you understand why and what to do about it. With world-class analytics and best-practice dashboards enriched by Sievo Community Data, public sources, and third-party providers, Sievo enables procurement teams to uncover the root causes and correlations behind their spend.

Our advanced predictive analytics capabilities like Sievo IQ, Sievo Insights, What-if Scenario, and Payment Term Simulation enable Procurement to effortlessly identify savings opportunities, understand their future impact and make proactive data-driven decisions.

Sievo’s intuitive prescriptive analytics such as Sievo Insights also offer guided actions to optimize outcomes. This not only improves Procurement’s decision-making, but also enhances process efficiency and reduces costs.

The Spend Matters SolutionMap is a comprehensive, analyst-driven assessment that evaluates procurement technology solutions across multiple dimensions, including functionality, customer satisfaction, and innovation.

If your organization manages over $0.5Bn in addressable spend and sources procurement data from multiple systems, Sievo is an excellent choice. Sievo specializes in integrating and consolidating complex procurement data from any ERP or data sources, providing a unified, accurate view of your spend.
While SpendHQ is also a recognized player in spend analytics, Sievo stands out for its data integration capabilities, AI-powered classification accuracy, and comprehensive analytics suite. For companies with multiple data sources and a need for advanced analytics, Sievo provides a future-proof, enterprise-grade solution.
If your goal is a fast, short-term fix for the early stages of spend analytics, SpendHQ may be a suitable option. SpendHQ offers out-of-the-box analytics that can help you get started quickly, especially if you are still in the process of manually extracting and preparing your data.
Sievo, while capable of supporting early-stage analytics, is designed for organizations looking for a scalable, long-term solution with advanced features. If you prefer to only tap into spend analytics point solutions with a limited scope, SpendHQ may be the more practical choice. However, if you anticipate evolving requirements or want to future-proof your analytics capabilities, Sievo offers a more robust foundation.
If automation and reliable, repeatable processes are top priorities for your organization, Sievo is a strong choice. Sievo’s platform is built to automate complex procurement data integration, classification, and enrichment from unlimited sources, reducing manual effort and minimizing errors. Its advanced AI and machine learning capabilities ensure consistent, high-quality data processing, which is essential for driving efficiency at scale.
Sievo also supports robust workflow automation and process standardization across key procurement activities, such as spend analytics, savings tracking, contract management, and sustainability reporting. This enables your team to focus on strategic tasks while routine processes run smoothly in the background.
Additionally, Sievo’s Procurement Performance Management (PPM) capabilities provide end-to-end visibility and control over procurement initiatives. PPM helps automate the tracking, measurement, and reporting of procurement performance, ensuring that best practices are repeatable and results are reliable across the organization.
While SpendHQ offers strong analytics, Sievo’s emphasis on automation, process reliability, and integrated PPM makes it particularly well-suited for organizations seeking to maximize operational efficiency and drive continuous improvement.
If your organization requires a highly capable and customizable procurement analytics solution, Sievo is an excellent fit. Sievo is renowned for its flexibility and ability to adapt to complex, unique business requirements. The platform offers extensive customization options, from tailored data integrations and enrichment to configurable dashboards, workflows, and reporting.
While SpendHQ provides strong out-of-the-box analytics, Sievo stands out for organizations that need deep configurability, seamless integration with multiple systems, and the ability to tailor analytics to specific business goals. For enterprises seeking a solution that can grow and adapt alongside their procurement strategy, Sievo offers the flexibility and depth required to deliver long-term value.
SpendHQ is a suitable choice if your organization is ready to invest resources in manually extracting and loading data. It is designed for organizations that do not require advanced automation or seamless data integration at the outset.
Sievo, by contrast, excels in automating data integration and extraction from all your sources, reducing manual effort and ensuring data accuracy. If you prefer to minimize manual processes and are looking for a solution that can automate and streamline data handling as your needs grow, Sievo would be the better long-term fit.
If your organization is looking for a comprehensive solution that goes beyond basic spend analytics, Sievo is the better fit. Sievo delivers advanced procurement analytics and actionable insights, helping you make data-driven decisions and uncover savings opportunities. Its solution also includes dedicated sustainability analytics, enabling you to measure, report, and collaborate with sustainability teams to achieve your ESG goals.
In addition, Sievo offers robust budgeting and forecasting capabilities specifically designed to support close alignment between procurement and finance. This ensures that both teams work from a unified set of data and insights, making it easier to plan, forecast, and speak the same language across departments.
SpendHQ does not offer the same depth of sustainability features or integrated budgeting and forecasting tools for finance collaboration as Sievo. For organizations that require a holistic solution to drive analytics, sustainability, and financial alignment, Sievo provides the comprehensive support needed to achieve these goals.
