NewMarketPlaceMarketSourceMarketMaterialsWorkflows

Automated provisioning, smarter receiving, and an Axi that remembers

SCIM 2.0 user provisioning from your identity provider, goods receipts that span multiple purchase orders with batch and serial capture, persistent Axi conversations that can build product lists, a Step Library and sub-workflows for the workflow engine, Italian and Dutch support, and a long list of improvements across shopping, search, inventory, analytics and notifications.

Integrations

Automated user provisioning with SCIM 2.0

Connect your identity provider (Okta, Entra ID, and others) to automatically create, update, and deactivate users. Group provisioning maps to role assignments so access is managed from your IdP, users are deprovisioned automatically when they leave your organisation, external IDs and delta sync mean only changed users are processed, and display name and attribute mapping works with standard SCIM clients. Accounts no longer need to be managed by hand, and access stays aligned with your directory at all times.

Better goods receipts

Receive deliveries that span several purchase orders in a single goods receipt, capture batch and serial numbers as you receive, and reject specific quantities with a documented reason and photo evidence. Find goods receipts faster with filters for status and date range plus free-text search.

Axi remembers your conversations

Your conversations with Axi, our AI shopping assistant, now persist across sessions. A new history sidebar lets you revisit and continue past chats, so you can pick up a search or sourcing conversation right where you left off.

MarketPlace

Axi builds product lists

Ask Axi to put together a product list and it will—complete with product images, prices, and add-to-cart, right from a new panel in the chat. Great for building recurring orders or shortlists from a conversation.

MarketPlace

Shopping & browsing

The shop landing page now shows “Popular in your organisation” and “Buy it again” rails, with quick view and add-to-cart directly from a tile. Part search has been rebuilt as a cleaner step-by-step flow with the supplier picker built in and the ability to switch supplier on exact-match results. Navigation is now linked across your purchasing flow, so you can jump between requisitions, orders, purchase orders, and invoices; order details include an item slide-over and ship-to / bill-to address cards.

MarketSource

Request UI overhaul

A smoother experience for working with RFQs, RFIs, and RFPs: headers and controls stay visible as you scroll, comparison columns are resizable, and long pages scroll properly throughout.

MarketPlace

Italian and Dutch

Italian and Dutch are now fully supported, bringing the platform to eight languages: German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, and Portuguese.

Change your language
Workflows

Step Library & sub-workflows

Build reusable, versioned workflow steps once in the Step Library and use them across your workflows. Compose workflows from reusable sub-workflows, with automatic compensation/reversal runs and cancellation support. Branching steps can now route errors to dedicated handling paths.

Workflows

Approvals, templates & discovery

Redesigned approval emails are clearer and more actionable, and initiators are now notified when their approval is resolved. Use dynamic template variables in approval step instructions, webhook headers, and webhook URLs. Price approval conditions can filter by supplier, supplier count, and entity scope, and the workflow list can be filtered by status and searched by name.

View approvals documentation
MarketPlace

Smarter search

Multilingual search is smarter, and attribute prioritisation has been tuned so the most likely matches rank higher. Search within large facet lists instead of scrolling, see translated names throughout search and filtering, optionally include pricing directly on universal search results, and browse a category menu that only shows categories visible to you.

MarketMaterials

Inventory requests, transfers & refill points

Accept an inventory request and fulfil it via a transfer order in one step, with visibility into which requests were fulfilled this way, or redirect a request to a different destination location on acceptance. Set refill points on parent locations that account for their child locations, and receive a daily email digest of expiring inventory and materials below their refill point.

MarketMaterials

Materials, pick lists & transactions

Link related materials with typed relationships such as replacements and accessories, save and reuse pick list configurations as presets, browse inventory transactions in a redesigned view, and manage delivery instructions and rules from a dedicated UI.

MarketPlace

Analytics & reporting

Save your analytics queries, share them with colleagues, and revisit your query history. Share dashboards with colleagues, with access control over who can view them. A new line-item view shows your own order history. Price approval exports now include flattened property columns and a language filter, and expired offers can be exported from the Expiring Offers page.

View documentation
MarketPlace

Notifications

Clients receive a daily email summarising prices that are about to expire. Shared cart checkout notifications now show the cart reference, link to the right page, and correctly attribute who checked out. Change-request notifications go to the relevant person instead of the whole organisation.

MarketMaterials

Manage Access

A unified interface for managing who can access what, now available across inventory resources, material groups, transfers, pick lists, and more—with permission cascading down location trees, a reworked scope picker, and inherited permissions shown separately.

MarketPlace

Everything is a link

Entity references throughout the app—suppliers, purchase orders, locations, and dozens more—are now clickable links that take you straight to the right page.

2026.Q2

June 30, 2026

NewMarketPlaceMarketSourceWorkflows

Sourcing reimagined, workflows live, and analytics on demand

A big quarter for the platform: a new sourcing framework spanning RFQs, RFIs and RFPs, multi-round bidding with AI-assisted evaluation, a redesigned checkout with cross-catalog basket optimisation, a refreshed buyer homepage, a live analytics stack with a natural-language data agent, and the general availability of the Axiom workflow engine.

MarketSource

RFIs & RFPs

Raise RFIs and RFPs alongside RFQs from a single sourcing framework, sharing the same items, invitations, rounds, responses and evaluation—with type-aware terminology, layouts and notifications throughout. RFIs and RFPs swap commercial columns for a structured question form, and Axi can draft a full set of typed questions from a plain-language brief. Access-controlled and off by default.

MarketPlace

Redesigned Buyer Homepage

A redesigned landing page surfaces your most important next actions the moment you land—open requests, recent requisitions, recommended workflows, and learning resources in one view. No configuration required; it's available to all buyers.

MarketSource

RFQ Multi-Round Bidding

Run a request over multiple rounds without starting from scratch to drive more competitive pricing. Carry items forward and edit them inline, add or remove suppliers between rounds, and reopen ended requests automatically. Each round is snapshotted with full per-round response history, supplier visibility is controlled per round, and awarded items are protected from reopening.

MarketSource

Axi Evaluator

Review supplier responses with AI assistance—ask questions in natural language, compare bids side by side, and weigh up trade-offs. Underneath is a structured scoring workbench with weighted criteria, independent multi-evaluator scoring aggregated for consensus, flexible weighting (sum, average, or weighted average), per-response summaries, and the ability to lock a session to finalise results.

MarketPlace

Redesigned Checkout & Order Summary

A cleaner, more intuitive final step built for both single orders and multi-supplier baskets. Shipping and fees are applied correctly across suppliers, shared-cart recipients can now set the delivery address, and GL account and cost-centre allocations flow through checkout into downstream approvals and workflows.

MarketPlace

Cross-Catalog Basket Optimisation

External punchout catalog items in your cart are now matched by manufacturer part number against your Axiom catalog, and where a cheaper compliant equivalent exists from an approved supplier, Axiom surfaces a swap suggestion with the exact saving before you buy. Suggestions respect supplier approval, buyer permissions, price policies and sourcing rules, and realised savings roll up at the cart level.

Workflows

Workflows: Now Live

The Axiom workflow engine is now live. Build automations well beyond simple approvals with a visual, graph-based builder—branching, parallel paths, joins and loops—using a rich set of step types (approval, condition, action, email, webhook, database, LLM, iterator, and more) and ~60 built-in platform actions. Trigger on a schedule, a platform event, or manually; version and roll back safely; and manage executions alongside SAP, ERP, or your P2P system.

View documentation
MarketPlace

Analytics On Demand

The analytics dashboard now reads live from your platform—orders, inventory and approvals, refreshed automatically with nothing to upload. Ask questions in plain English and the AI data agent turns them into queries behind the scenes, with detailed savings breakdowns converted to a common currency. Save and reopen multi-chart dashboards in Explore and share them with graded permissions. All queries are read-only, enforce row-level security, and are logged.

NewMarketPlace

Streamlined procurement with enhanced control

This release introduces flexible free text purchasing, advanced auto-approval logic, and automated SFTP data synchronisation to give procurement teams more control whilst reducing manual effort.

MarketPlace

Managed suppliers

Store-managed suppliers (also known as controlled suppliers) are supplier accounts that are created and managed by a store rather than being independent supplier organisations. This feature enables clients to maintain full control over specific supplier accounts, making it ideal for managing internal suppliers, subsidiaries, or closely integrated partners.

MarketPlace

Free text items with granular control

Purchase products or services not in your catalogue with full buyer permission controls, preferred supplier assignments by category, and the same permission rules that govern your standard catalogue items.

MarketPlace

Intelligent auto-approvals

Auto-approval workflows now support string comparisons and include/exclude logic across brand, manufacturer, SKU, manufacturer part number, CAS number, and product name—giving you precise control over which items bypass manual review.

MarketPlace

Automated SFTP integration for suppliers

Suppliers can now upload product, service, price, stock, and recommendation data automatically via secure SFTP. SSH authentication is enforced, and suppliers can manage multiple SFTP credentials independently for maximum flexibility.
