Procurement’s significance as a key business process has expanded profoundly in recent times. Initially, procurement began as an approach to incorporate purchasing into supply chain management amid a period when most large organizations were attempting to deal with their operational expenses. Truth be told, the exact date of procurement’s ascendance can be traced back to October 1983 when Peter Kraljic recognized that purchasing must be a strategic implementation in an organization, instead of a simple strategy in their supply chain management process. Before this change, organizations had just considered procurement as a sub-discipline of the supply management process.
Today, procurement is separated into direct and indirect procurement. Indirect procurement is the demonstration of purchasing services or supplies required to keep the everyday business alive. Without indirect procurement capacities, organizations wouldn’t be able to work in a powerful manner. Realizing the complex needs of indirect procurement solutions, Dilip Dubey formed Xeeva in 2014. Since then, Xeeva is driving the development and delivery of intelligent procurement and financial solutions.

Today, Xeeva is a global provider of intelligent cloud-based procurement software and financial solutions for indirect spend and MRO.
