The Ness Group

The Ness Group, an international procurement provider, is known for its client service, leadership and efficiency, so it was important that their procurement software partner could offer the same. As they continued to grow, it was equally important that their software grew with them. And with team members spread across the country, a scalable, user-friendly, web-based solution was essential.

Other procurement software options fell short. They lacked key features essential to servicing the Ness Group’s growing client base, were developed on antiquated platforms and were inadequate in their operational capacity.

Rather than building from scratch, as some purchasing firms choose to do at great expense and risk, The Ness Group placed its trust in Sigma Sourcing. With our platform, they benefit from the software’s core strengths: an advantageous pricing structure that isn’t project-based, project management alongside purchasing, and a commitment to upgrading servers so they will never outgrow their software.

The biggest benefit, though, is efficiency. Because the software can be customized to their data, it performs more and more tasks on The Ness Group’s behalf. With the bid analysis module, for example, the software pulls pricing summaries automatically, eliminating the need for manual entry.

Sigma Sourcing’s software is built to do as much for hospitality procurement companies as possible. Simply put, the time The Ness Group saves by not having to enter data manually is time they can reinvest in providing the exceptional service they are known for.

Because the platform scales with their needs and keeps a distributed team working from the same information, growth no longer means growing pains. The budget reporting alone gives them a clearer view of project spend than they have ever had, ready to present to clients in whatever level of detail each one needs.
