Sourcing software is a specialized digital tool or platform designed to streamline and optimize the procurement process, including supplier identification, evaluation, selection, and management. Its objective is to improve the efficiency, transparency, and effectiveness of procurement activities by providing organizations with advanced tools and capabilities.
The primary types of sourcing software include on-premise and cloud-based solutions. On-premise sourcing software refers to applications installed and operated on computers or servers within an organization's physical premises. These solutions are utilized by both large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises across various industries such as retail, manufacturing, transportation and logistics, healthcare, and others.

The growth of remote work is expected to drive the expansion of the sourcing software market in the coming years. Remote work, also known as telecommuting or telework, involves performing job duties, tasks, or responsibilities from a location outside a traditional office environment. This trend is fueled by a combination of technological progress, changing workforce preferences, business needs, and societal shifts. Sourcing software plays a crucial role in supporting remote work by providing teams with the tools, capabilities, and infrastructure to efficiently manage procurement processes, communicate with suppliers, and execute strategic sourcing initiatives from any location. For example, in September 2023, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a US-based Department of Labor, reported that the telework rate, which indicates the percentage of workers who telecommuted or worked from home for pay, ranged from 17.9% to 20.0% between October 2022 and August 2023. As a result, the rise in remote work is driving the growth of the sourcing software market.
Prominent players within the sourcing software domain are actively innovating to gain a competitive edge, notably through the development of cutting-edge solutions such as AI-powered autonomous sourcing platforms. These platforms, imbued with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, are meticulously engineered to streamline and automate various facets of the procurement process. A prime example is LTIMindtree Limited's unveiling of Navisource.AI in February 2024, an autonomous sourcing platform leveraging GenAI's AI algorithms to revolutionize procurement operations. Navisource.AI is engineered to optimize pricing, negotiation, and workflow management, with the overarching goal of curbing procurement costs by 10-15% while enhancing operational efficiency from requisition to risk mitigation. Furthermore, its seamless integration with leading enterprise platforms such as Ariba and SAP S/4HANA ensures compatibility and facilitates streamlined indirect procurement processes, empowering procurement teams to focus on strategic imperatives.
