Hansen Fit Score Contrast


Strategic Positioning Advantage

ApolloRise wins when:

  • The practitioner team wants action over analytics
  • The org needs multi-stakeholder workflows vs. single-source data normalization
  • Cycle time reduction, intake simplification, and early ROI signals are top priorities
  • They’re aiming for cross-functional orchestration, not just supplier visibility

Strategic Summary

TODAY’S TAKEAWAY (THINKING OUT LOUD)

When it comes to ProcureTech selection, instead of either/or, why can’t it be both? Off the top of my head, I can immediately think of two or three CPOs who would find this an interesting option.

Practitioner and Client Value

  • For practitioners, such an integrated stack offers:
    • One source of truth for supplier data, reducing errors and manual reconciliation.
    • End-to-end automation—from enriched data input (Tealbook) to analytics, contract intelligence, and workflow optimization (ApolloRise).
    • Higher operational agility and faster realization of cost savings, compliance, and supplier diversity goals.
    • Improved user adoption due to reduced data friction and greater transparency in supplier analysis and selection.

Table: Hansen Fit Scores & Practitioner Impact

In summary:
A partnership between ApolloRise and Tealbook lifts the combined Hansen Fit Score above either standing alone, directly benefiting practitioner clients by maximizing ROI, unlocking new cost savings, and creating a data-driven competitive advantage that is sustainable and continuously monitored for alignment as business needs shift
