Built by procurement,
for procurement

Operational purchasing, e-procurement systems, sourcing operations, category management — I've worked across the full procurement lifecycle at a global manufacturer. Not consulting about it. Doing it.

I've run sourcing activities across categories ranging from facility services and building renovations to lab testing, telecom, print-on-demand, and IT equipment. Some I knew well. Most I didn't. That's the reality of indirect procurement — you're constantly building sourcing requirements for areas outside your expertise, and expected to produce professional output every time.

What I kept seeing, year after year: contracts falling apart during implementation because things were missed during sourcing. KPIs written into agreements that nobody followed up on. Evaluation processes that looked structured on paper but couldn't capture the full complexity of comparing intangible responses across different pricing models.

When I discovered what large language models could actually do — structured reasoning over real data, not chatbot tricks — I realized I could build the tool I'd been waiting for. Not another platform that automates purchase orders. A sourcing intelligence platform that helps the business go from "we need this problem solved" to a professional sourcing event in days instead of weeks or months.

The preparation IS the hard part — and once you're well prepared, the execution becomes easy. That's what MadSourcing does. Better preparation, in a fraction of the time.
