Sr Manager, Procurement Services Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "eSourcing Review" September 8, 2023 5.0 Consistent RFXs to the supplier community. Ability to back-up others Pros Provides a consistent and professional platform to tender RFXs.Institutionalizes the process and makes transparent for compliance.Able to copy and paste prior projects to streamline and expedite package preparation Cons Not very intuitive or as organized as I would prefer. But, knowledge and experience is easily gained with usage Reason for choosing Simfoni Initially used contract management system and supplier management but integrated to other systems as a corporate requirement Review Source BV Brandi V. Director of Purchasing Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "You CAN teach an old dog new tricks!" July 20, 2023 5.0 My experience with Simfoni products and their staff overall has been excellent. We were looking for a system that could act as an onboarding process for incoming requests before they were entered into our ERP system. We are expanding our range of KPI and how we can further improve our processes. This system is user friendly, is filled with help instructions and new enhancements being implemented. I feel that I more than got our money's worth with the modules that we have started with and I look forward to continuing to grow with this company. They really listen and deliver what is needed. Pros Firstly, the initial salesperson impressed me over other companies with her friendly, authentic, non-salesy conversation. She got my attention which led to questions, demos, and eventually the right fit for my team that I didn't think existed. By implementing the Workflow and eSourcing modules into our very niche procurement process, we were able to improve the transparency, efficiency, and reporting capability by tenfold. My department was able to capture all incoming needs from global requestors, upload items, source vendors, compare best bids, report and communicate the findings all within the same system. I am relieved to have found a program that will allow my team to move away from antiquated procedures which were a high risk for errors and revolved around a high volume of emails, PDFs, spreadsheets and good old fashioned pen and paper. There is room to grow with the Simfoni products too. When we are ready...we can connect our Simfoni modules to our ERP system and also manage our spend better! We would not be where we are today if it weren't for the knowledgeable and patient Success Manager who helped us every step of the way. Cons Given our specific business needs at the time, Simfoni had a little too many 'bells & whistles' which felt overwhelming at first. We were accustomed to a much more simple design and it took us a while to adjust our mindset to see where this platform could take us.

It was made for procurement by procurement people. It was an agnostic system that we could build as needed with modules. The sales, training, and management teams were reputable and trustworthy. They were a small company that continued to show growth over a long period of time. Review Source SD Sanjay D. Business and Logistics Consultant Maritime Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simfoni feedback" November 17, 2021 3.0 It is a good tool. But stakeholder engagement is vital to ensure that detailed analysis across all categories and functions is possible Pros The Software is easy to use. As an general information resource it works fine. But when you need to get to what the details are of actually managing spend and analysing data, there has been no consideration building in the stakeholder requirements to capture critical data. Cons Lack of category detail which does not allow for true analysis Review Source PM Phil M. Global Procurement Manager Chemicals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Accelerate your spend analytics with Simfoni" July 21, 2023 5.0 Very positive experience. The account team is dedicated to exceding our expectations. Pros We can look at our data in multiple ways depending upon the analysis needed, i.e. Spend by supplier, Spend by Category, Spend by location, Spend by department, Spend by payment terms, Tail spend to understand small purchases. We update data in Simfoni monthly after the close of the previous month and generally, the data that we send is updated within a week. Also, the supplier's name is normalized by Simfoni so we can get the entire global spend by supplier which often gives us better visability of our spend vs. what the supplier can maintain. Cons There are some new features, i.e. eSourcing that are availalbe, but we have not seen the product fully devloped to our needs to date. Reason for choosing Simfoni Simfoni was able to meet all of our needs from a cash flow to implementation to production stability capabilities vs. the competition. Review Source KS Kiran S. Procurement Manager (head of) Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Efficient & Resourceful..." July 21, 2023 5.0 Pros Firstly, \[sensitive content hidden\] has been a huge help - wholly reassuring, very clear and has provided consistent support throughout the implementation process. He has been hand-holding whilst empowering me to jump right into using the system. Secondly, the analytics tool is just beyond exciting! Being able to have the dashboards already set up using our historical data and drilling down into information has fuelled curiosity to explore new projects, identify new efficiency or cost saving opportunities and has helped save hours of time every month. Cons I think being left to explore it can sometimes feel a little scary because there's so much the system can do.... but a lot like learning to drive a car - doing the projects in real time with the Simfoni teams' live support has been instrumental to being able to use the system independently quickly. Instead of bombarding me with everything the system can do on day one, \[sensitive content hidden\] was particularly good at scouting what I needed to do with a particular project, working through it together, and then advising how to use the additional features as and when they became required. It is a slightly pricier system than the others we reviewed, however given the functionality and the support, I'd justify making the same decision. Review Source RW Randy W. Contracts Manager Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "eSourcing" September 8, 2023 5.0 By utilizing the eSourcing module, RFIs, RFP/Qs and correspondence with bidders are easily stored and shared within the team. Pros The eSourcing module has been most impactful for my group. The module is easy to use, allows for numerous bidders and reduces the bid evaluation period by 75%! Cons The only issues found with the system, is the speed. The system is slow loading information and changing screens. Review Source PP Patricia P. Sales Support Manager Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "What I like about Simfoni" June 28, 2023 5.0 \[sensitive content hidden\] is a wonderful teacher! He walked me thru all the screens with ease. He offered any extra help if I could not find something I was looking for.My experience with Simfoni has been a good one. Thanks \[sensitive content hidden\]!! Pros Easy to use. Not a lot of steps to get the end result - excel spreadsheet. Suppliers can easily navigate thru the screens to find any documents and to input their information.Exporting is very easy. Communicating with others (Suppliers) is very easy - and important to keep track.Add/Delete is very simple. I am very impressed with the new U/I. Cons So far, I can't tell if I have any concerns at the moment. Reason for choosing Simfoni I am not the person who handles this question. Review Source JG Jorge G. Senior Category Manager Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simfoni Review Power User" June 28, 2023 5.0 I will say is a great tool for any procurement professional in charge of category management that is looking to use data to help them make better informed decisions and at the same time simply the workload on creating RFPs for multiple vendors. Pros Easy-to-use platform that provides excellent tools for analytical work and gives you quick and easy to digest information to help you make inform decisions regarding your spend. Cons Now with the rise of AI, there is an opportunity to implement AI tools to help simplify a lot of the manual task of inputting some data. Review Source Keith W. SVP, Chief Procurement Offier Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy Implement, Easy to Use, The Essential Data We Need" November 12, 2021 5.0 Prior to implementation of Simfoni, we had general information by supplier spend, but didn't tie out with any business unit, stakeholder, commodity, etc. Simfoni's implementation resource worked closely with my finance team to help extract the required data from our systems. Ideas were shared when there were road blocks and there was always a partnership to what can we do, versus what a system only allowed - which has been my experience in the past with other larger software solution providers. Pros Easy to configure. I am able to easily pull both macro and micro detail in relation to the information that we provide on a monthly basis to our spend. We include GL, Cost Centers, and Line of Business filtering to allow me to have a data based discussion with my stakeholders. Cons I have not encountered any issues thus far that I dislike about Simfoni's Spend Analytics Tool. Reason for choosing Simfoni Ease of use; Quick implementation; Competitive cost Review Source Joseph Z. Senior Manager Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simfoni and Consulting Enagements" July 18, 2023 4.0 Pros The PowerBI backbone is very easily understood for anyone using the MS suite. Cons The AI/ML still needs a lot of work - too many items are ending up unclassified or placed into the wrong categories. Review Source FW Fariha W. Regional Procuerment Partner (MENA) Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Improvised tool " November 14, 2021 5.0 My role with this tool is to understand the spending witht the suppliers in the Region and to manage them well. The graphical chart allow us to quickly read the underlying data over the year plus the option to filter as per the quater is quite efficient. Overall it has been a great experince in using Simfoni. Good job Team Pros The Spend Overview is most impactful, especially now that it also has many color making it visually convenient. Yes, data is extract from our main systems but we usually don’t find it up to date and live - so there is always an approximate margin we need to keep when calculating the spend with any supplier or working on a category. Also the focus mode on each block with 3 dot option to export data has simplified extracting useful information on Excel. Cons I had highlighted this in my previous survey - not sure if it is possible to implement. The only thing that really doesnt work for me is the Vertical Visualisation Bar on the left side - why can we not push it inwards when not requried - it takes a lot of unnessary space on the screen. Otherwise the tool has become faster and eaiser to use - Thanks :) Review Source SV Sreeram V.

Senior Director Global Sourcing Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Technology / Financial Services Industry Review" November 30, 2021 4.0 The Simfoni team needs to be able to provide solutions in ensuring we get data refreshes often, quarterly update is insufficient.
