Speya

A supplier that passed onboarding last year can look very different today. Speya keeps checking the whole supplier base and shows the source for every change.

One customer ran the same category through Speya and through their usual search, side by side. What would your category show?

Most supplier lists come from the same few sources: last year's RFQ, a fair, a colleague's tip. Speya looks across the whole market and checks every name it finds.

Most supplier shortlists have the same blind spot: the suppliers nobody contacted. I learned that early. At uni I ran a small clothing brand and spent weeks trying to find a factory. Directories, trade fair lists, cold emails. I wrote to a handful, chased the ones that didn't answered, and picked the best of a tiny sample. I never knew what I’d missed. Procurement teams do the same search for hundreds of categories a year, with far more at stake, and most of it still happens in email and spreadsheets. On Friday we shipped RFx in Speya. Describe what you need, and Speya finds and vets the right suppliers, then sends the request to all of them at once. We tested it on our own cleaning contract: one request, 100 providers, and several quotes beat what we pay today. I can now do in minutes what I couldn’t do back then. More importantly, so can a category manager with 40 open requests. If your team still runs RFQs by hand, I’d like to hear where it hurts most.

A shortlist you cannot trace is a shortlist you cannot defend. In Speya, every certificate, rating and risk flag links back to where it came from.

Every category has the same bunch you always ask. The suppliers you have never heard of are out there. The question is who has time to look for them.
