**The Definitive Business Case for Procurement Orchestration**

Developed in partnership with The Hackett Group, this global benchmark study quantifies the measurable impact of procurement orchestration across intake, sourcing, contracting, supplier onboarding, risk management, and purchase-to-pay.

Based on insights from procurement leaders across industries and regions, the research demonstrates that orchestration is not simply a technology enhancement, it is a step-change performance driver across efficiency, cost savings, cycle time, user experience, and AI enablement.

**Key findings include:**

- **30% median improvement** in process efficiency and automation (50% for top quartile performers)
- **20 days faster** source-to-contract cycle times
- **25% of cost reduction and avoidance** attributed directly to orchestration
- **93% positive user experience** among procurement teams using formal orchestration
- **2.9x more touchless purchase orders** in purchase-to-pay environments

Procurement orchestration is emerging as the first truly new core procurement technology category in over a decade, unifying fragmented systems, simplifying stakeholder experience, and accelerating digital transformation.

If you're developing a business case for procurement orchestration, this benchmark study provides foundational data and executive-level validation to support investment decisions.
