Services Sourcing
1:30 On average, one procurement user manages 30 internal and external users at the same time.
Self-service intake + automated updates = one procurement team, many times the reach.
Why adoption matters to us
- 1
Go-live is not the finish line
Most software projects don't fail on technology. They fail after go-live, when people keep working the way they always have. The licences are paid for, the process is defined, and the old habits remain.
- 2
The beaten path wins
Users rarely reject new software outright. They just stick to what they know: email, Excel, the phone call to a familiar vendor. New tools feel like extra effort, and nobody wants to look like a beginner in front of colleagues.
- 3
No users, no spend under management
Every request that bypasses the platform bypasses procurement too. Adoption stays low, and spend under management stays low with it.
- 4
No spend, no savings
Competition can't happen on spend that never reaches the platform. Savings stay small, and the business case for the software weakens with every month it goes unused.

Fast, lasting adoption is a core goal of every client rollout. Our 100-Day Plan drives this from day one, ensuring high spend coverage early. The result: a steady stream of existing and new users benefiting from the software's features — without a single manual email.
Reach per procurement user
Requesters self-serve their requests directly — no intake bottleneck
Supplier communication runs through the platform, not procurement's inbox
Measured across apadua's customer base: 1 procurement user : 15 internal stakeholders (requesters); 1 : 30 when vendors are included.
Adoption by design: the 100-Day Plan
Adoption doesn't happen by chance. Every apadua rollout follows our 100-Day Plan, built to win over procurement and business users alike from day one.
Procurement teams learn to run events in the new flow. Demand owners experience how quickly a request turns into competitive bids. As more requests move onto the platform, spend under management ramps up fast.
The first completed events deliver the first success stories. Shared early inside the organisation, they turn sceptics into users and users into advocates. Savings start to show within the first months, not years, and that is what makes the return on apadua fast and measurable.
