BlueBean

📽 It's Tuesday showtime again 😎 Two weeks ago I shared with you how BlueBean empowers employees allowing them to buy like consumers do. Last week I illustrated how BlueBean Sprout Ai controls spending on any platform. Today I want to share how BlueBean automates accounting of your purchasing transaction eliminating invoice processing. Enjoy 🍿

💡 Last week I shared with you how BlueBean removes the need for training. Today I want to share with you how our Ai powered exception based approval eliminates the need for chain approvals and shrinks it from days to seconds. Right at checkout BlueBean controls whether you i) are using contracted suppliers ii) have the budget and iii) are within policy. With BlueBean Ai powered approvals only exceptions get routed for human intervention. Watch this 40 secs video and hit me to learn more 🎬

🎬 At BlueBean we do not believe employees should get trained to learn how to buy. We developed a browser extension that enables them to make purchases seamlessly, mirroring their home buying experience while upholding enterprise controls. #P2P #UserExperience #BlueBean

Let's start Monday with a 💥 It is with great excitement that I welcome Matt Anthony and Salvatore DeFranco to the BlueBean family. Seeding a GTM function requires discipline, grit and a maniacal focus on results. These are some of the qualities Matt and Sal are bringing to BlueBean with years of experience as SEALs in the US Navy and a relentless entrepreneurial spirit. Looking forward to introduce the to you in upcoming meetings and take BlueBean to the 🌚 (Sal wanted to explore Mars - so we may have to get there after a stop on the moon ;) )

BlueBean: Instant Coffee for Mid-Market “Tail”-Spend Procurement The goal: make Kona affordable for every Procurement organization! Or at least make an affordable solution that everyone can use with no requirement for an average business user to install new apps or learn new processes that will just make them want to circumvent an unnecessarily obstructive process! And do it in a new, sensical, e-commerce friendly way (with no AI needed)! https://lnkd.in/ef_TvKvu

« This could be a Concur killer » … These are the exact words shared by the head of engineering to our CFO customer after he completed his first purchase through BlueBean 🚀 The trust that our customers are placing in us is the best motivator to innovate and make things better. Happy Friday and ping me if you too want to streamline your entire #p2p processes and make your employees happy

Happy Monday, let's start this week off with procurement innovation 🎳 Here's the latest spider chart! A few notes: * I am starting to quietly replace some startups that have been on for a while to make way for new innovations 🤫 * I have officially dropped all CLM solutions, those that remain in the space are pursuing next-gen contract intelligence/authoring (but they may not be safe in the next iterations) 🫣 * The center continues to get crowded 🎯 * Quality Imaging Solutions LLC deserves a special shout out for embodying all aspects of procurement (cost, ESG, uniqueness, etc...) 🖨️ * A bunch of new companies that have captured my interest b/c of either how quickly they came to market and/or the uniqueness of the innovation: BlueBean, sligo.ai, Kontractify, ConvergentIS, Cimple 🔭✨ The procure tech market remains utterly exciting and full of inventiveness. Consider this just another way station on our way to the future📡🚀 As always, thank you to Thomas Kline 🤗 #procurement #makingprocurementcool #spidermap Kearney Shakil Nathoo Lance Younger Sarah Scudder - Sales Leader Turned CMO Steven Michael Cadieux ❤️ Amanda Prochaska ❤️ Shachi Rai Gupta Mark Raffan
