EP 014: Provider of the Week: Sievo W/ Sammeli Sammalkorpi

"The expectation level of procurement is rising. Today's stuff that was not possible a year ago, that felt like science fiction three years ago, is something that we can create for our customers today." - Sammeli Sammalkorpi, Co-founder & CEO, Sievo

For CPOs and their teams, procurement data has never been more abundant… or more challenging to harness. Demands go far beyond savings: teams are being asked to link procurement value to broader business goals, manage complexity, and adapt to the rapid rise of AI.

In this episode of the ProcureTech Insider we speak with Sammeli Sammalkorpi, Sievo's co-founder and CEO, for a candid "Provider of the Week" discussion about what it takes to turn chaotic data into actionable business value.

With Sievo handling data equivalent to more than two percent of global GDP, Sammeli shares why long-term data investment, proprietary benchmarks, and hands-on integration are making the biggest difference for large enterprises.

In this episode, Sammeli also covers how to:

-Build an enterprise-wide data foundation ready for AI and rapid business change

-Turn procurement analytics into prioritized, actionable insights

-Benchmark your spend and risk using truly global, anonymized industry data

-Translate procurement results into the language of margin, revenue, and business value
