The True Cost of Dirty Data in Procurement

The True Cost of Dirty Data in Procurement

In this week’s Proc N Roll, Conrad sits down with Stephany Lapierre, the visionary founder of Tealbook. They dive into the reality of modern procurement tech: why companies spend millions on "Ferraris" (expensive systems) only to fill the gas tanks with sugar and mud (bad data).

Stephany shares her journey from founding Matchbook to fixing the foundational data issues that plague modern source-to-pay processes. If you want to know why portal fatigue is holding your suppliers back, why LLMs won't magically clean your data, and how to pare down a massive vision into digestible steps to get stakeholder buy-in, this episode is a must-listen!
