Procurement has always been fertile ground for tech entrepreneurs. We have pulled together some of the most compelling – and potentially disruptive – procurement solutions for a Special Startup Series. We will ask each entrepreneur questions about what gap in the market their solution addresses, how they differentiate their technology and what their tools look like in action.

In this podcast, we interview Paul Gurr, Managing Director at Provalido, an online platform for tracking savings that was founded in 2013. Discussion highlights include:

• The strategy (and feasibility) of taking a 'best of breed' approach to building a procurement technology portfolio
• The continued need for procurement to emphasize and invest in clean, high quality data
• The direct connection between tracking and process/purchasing transparency
