📣 Procurement Magazine has kicked off the coverage of yesterday's Bid Management launch, including this quote from Jacob Gritte, General Manager, Source-to-Pay Solutions: “Bidding might seem like a small step in the source-to-pay lifecycle, but we see it as a massive opportunity for the industry to get more out of every dollar it spends, and an important milestone on the road to helping operators, suppliers, and the talented men and women in the field work better, together, to meet the world’s increasing energy demands.” Get their take via the link below: https://hubs.ly/Q02Y6h4l0 #energy #S2P #procurement #supplychain #operations

"Whenever the world makes you cynical; whenever you seek true humility, and true selflessness, look to a veteran." — Barack Obama At its core, sacrifice is inherently an act of selflessness. It may not bring to mind the shinier aspects of service. Things like glory or heroism. But for our veterans and active duty military across the armed forces, this is part of life. This and every Veterans Day, we honor our veterans and military service members, well as their families. Their victories large and small, as well as their collective sacrifice. At Workrise, we are proud to boast veterans amongst our ranks, both in the office and in the field. And we wouldn’t be where we are today without their knowledge and experience. To all veterans and active duty service members, we salute you. #HonoringOurHeroes

Every November, we take time to reflect on the commitment and sacrifice of US military service members and their families. With deep personal connections to the military through her family, Tasha Berry-Stanton’s commitment to supporting this community shines through both in and outside of Workrise. "My connection to the military is personal: my husband is currently active duty in the Air Force, and both of my grandfathers served in the Navy. We are currently stationed at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, AZ, which is home to the world’s largest aircraft boneyard. As a military spouse, I have witnessed firsthand the daily sacrifices made by military members and their families. This experience inspires me to give back in meaningful ways. In my local community, I have the privilege of mentoring veteran business owners and guiding them in their marketing efforts. At Workrise, as the Chair of our Veterans ERG, I strive to create an empathetic and safe environment where members can connect, share their stories, talk about their challenges, and celebrate their wins. I know how vital it is to have a listening ear and a support system, especially when facing challenges like relocating for the next assignment—just one example of what military families navigate. My goal is to cultivate a welcoming space where everyone feels comfortable sharing and seeking support from one another, knowing they are not alone in their journey." Tasha’s dedication to her role and support for our Veterans ERG exemplifies the culture we are working to build; creating an inclusive environment that champions empathy, resilience, and a shared purpose. Her impact is felt every day, and we’re excited to see how her vision and passion continue to shape our community for the better. #togetherwerise

You might read this headline and think "Broken? That's a strong word." But when we talk to both operators and suppliers, we see a different picture. A picture where competitive bids are siloed in email inboxes, and often reserved only for big ticket items. Where suppliers have to jump through hoops to decode an RFQ, before jumping through more hoops to get onboarded and get to work. Where on both sides of the aisle, valuable mindshare is pulled into the minutia of gathering quotes or manually digging up historicals, and away from the things that matter. Bidding is the opening gambit in the source-to-pay lifecycle. An opportunity to start on the right foot, and an opportunity that is so often missed the way the industry works today. In his latest piece, Jacob Gritte — General Manager, Source-to-Pay Solutions — unpacks why this space is in need of an overhaul, and paints a picture of what we believe a lasting solution should look like (link in comments). #energy #S2P #bidding #operations #supplychain #spendmanagement

Great write-up from Procurement Magazine covering the findings from our inaugural study capturing the state of #SourcetoPay in energy. This problem us much larger and more pervasive than most realize. By way of example, only 30% of leaders say their company is “highly efficient” at managing the S2P process across all the teams it touches, and almost 40% of industry leaders lack the real-time spend data and reporting that is essential to proactive spend and project management. With added focus on #S2P and everything it touches, operators have a massive opportunity to reduce costs, and maximize the impact of every dollar operators spend in the field.

This month we are shining a spotlight Ryan King, an intern and software engineering placement student based out of our Belfast, Northern Ireland office. Ryan’s dedication, eagerness to learn, and the quality of his work have made a significant impression on our Engineering team. As Ryan puts it, “While interning at Workrise, I had the opportunity to dive into exciting and impactful projects while being trusted to solve challenges independently. What also sets this internship apart is the strong support system that allows me to ask questions and collaborate with experienced professionals, helping me to learn and grow as a software engineer.” Ryan's journey reflects the essence of what we aim to provide in our internship programs —real-world challenges, a talented support system, and a collaborative environment that pushes students to new heights. Kudos Ryan. Keep up the great work! #togetherwerise

"In energy, Source-to-Pay is emerging from the shadows and beginning to take shape; presenting a new world of challenges and opportunities to those who choose to see it." If you asked #ChatGPT to summarize this report - the inaugural edition of a new annual study capturing "The State of Source-to-Pay in Energy" - using a metaphor, you might get something like this (for the record, we didn't). 56% of energy industry leaders either haven't heard of Source-to-Pay, or have heard the term but don't know what solutions in this space do. And yet, the source-to-pay lifecycle touches nearly every department, and costs energy companies millions annually to manage the way they have. Learn about this emerging category, and the industry dynamics that define it, by reading the first piece in our coverage: https://lnkd.in/gBTwAqp5 Stay tuned for more as we continue to peel back the layers from the inaugural study. And special thanks to {{linkedin_mention(urn:li:organization:10893993|NewtonX)}} - the world's leading B2B research company - for partnering with us to develop this year-over-year study. #S2P #energy #energyinnovation #research

Over the past year, we've made the case that the source-to-pay lifecycle is the backbone of energy field operations. The glue that holds energy companies, their suppliers, and the talented men and women in the field together. We've also talked about "designing for the ecosystem as a whole." Not one user, at one step, in the process from sourcing to payments. But solutions that empower everyone in energy to work better, together. In this post, we turn our focus to the critical role of suppliers. And rather than talk the talk, Workrise CTO Praveen Kalamegham details how we are walking the walk for suppliers. Making it easier to get to work, and faster to get paid are just two examples of how we've designed our solution with suppliers in mind.

Workrise is extremely fortunate to have a leader like Collin Reed at the helm of our Worker Onboarding team, which supports new consultants in their first months with Workrise. Whether tackling new challenges or fostering growth, he consistently raises the bar by equipping his team with the skills and resources to optimize worker impact. Collin reflects on what makes his role so fulfilling: “I love the dynamic nature of the role and its meaningful impact on the people we serve. Whether it’s addressing a new requirement or collaborating internally, I’m constantly faced with new but rewarding scenarios. Workrise has a collaborative environment that fosters creativity and allows my team to tackle challenges and reach its goals more effectively.” Collin’s dedication and creative thinking are genuinely inspiring. We can't wait to see what the future holds. #togetherwerise
