How modular procurement solutions give you control. Not complexity.

Beyond Procurement — Edition #4

Hello 👋 and welcome back to Beyond Procurement. Your trusted source for insights on procurement transformation, cost optimization, and sustainable growth.

In our last edition, we explored why automation matters and how AI is beginning to reshape the role of procurement.

But today, let’s talk about something equally important:

→ How you adopt change in the first place.

Because transformation shouldn’t mean replacing everything. It should mean fixing what hurts first, and scaling when you’re ready.

▶ Why “All-in-One” doesn’t work for everyone

Gartner reports that organizations adhering to conventional procurement processes are 26% more likely to encounter complexity in their transformation efforts. Simplifying procurement processes can lead to a 42% increase in transformation success.

The traditional model (the all-in-one procurement suite) often demands:

• Costly, end-to-end rollouts
• Painful ERP integrations
• Cross-functional buy-in before results are visible

But today’s teams don’t have the luxury of time (or budget) for a 12–18 month transformation. Most enterprises, especially those already using SAP, Oracle, or Coupa, face high-risk, high-cost, and high-friction challenges.

What they need is:

1. Precision: Targeted solutions for their most urgent pain points
2. Plug-and-play flexibility: Tools that plug into what they already use
3. Scalability: The ability to scale when ready, not before

Modular solutions fix this by letting teams start where the pain is and build outward.

▶ Modular procurement in action: A real-world transformation

A leading FMCG company in Europe adopted ewiz procure’s eTendering and auction modules to fix slow, manual sourcing processes. Without changing their ERP, they achieved faster RFQ cycles, increased supplier participation, better pricing visibility, and full auditability within just 10 weeks.

▶ Solve what hurts first. Scale when you’re ready

At Powerweave, we’ve seen modular tools help teams tackle what matters most — from streamlining catalog buying to automating compliance or embedding ESG visibility.

The modular approach allows procurement teams to:

• Solve problems in weeks, not months
• Minimize disruption
• Get early wins that unlock broader change

And yes, tools like ewiz procure are designed for exactly this kind of flexibility — but the bigger point is this: your tech should adapt to your strategy, not the other way around.
