Focal Point Builds Momentum as Enterprise Chief Procurement Officers Modernize and Optimize Operations with Digital Solutions

Focal Point, provider of an end-to-end enterprise procurement management platform, today released an overview of its YoY growth. The momentum builds on H2 2022 growth, which came on the heels of the company’s $3M Seed investment in June. Focal Point is seeing significant traction as enterprise procurement leaders adjust to major digital shifts and seek solutions that integrate all procurement activity including intake and triage, execution and collaboration, and performance management.

Since its founding, Focal Point has empowered enterprise Chief Procurement Officers to move up the digital maturity curve across every aspect of the procurement process. CPOs have invested heavily over the past 25 years in various procurement solutions but have increasingly lacked a way to unify all of their siloed data and processes. This has prevented them from truly maximizing the ROI of existing investments in a way that transforms procurement from a cost center into a strategic driver of growth. This is critical as companies face continued economic headwinds going into 2023.

“The past year has further spotlighted the core challenges and opportunities for Chief Procurement Officers and other C-suite leaders involved in managing operations, cost savings and financial risk,” said Anders Lillevik, Focal Point CEO. “Our growth is the direct result of the success of our customers who realize the value of full-scale visibility of procurement across IT and business units. As we move into 2023, we remain committed to providing the innovation and support that empowers companies to reimagine procurement and derive exponential productivity and value from their software investments.”
