Spendesk vs. Workday Strategic Sourcing

As an end-user, Spendesk is easily the simplest, most intuitive platform I have ever used for corporate expense management.

Workday Strategic Sourcing is great for contract pipeline and management, but I wish it was better integrated with Workday so that we could keep it "clean" when the dimensionality is changed or updated in our financial data model.

• No way to flag where I need an internal colleague to review or add to an answer
• No way to assign items to an internal team member for that person to answer a question
• No status bar of the remaining items not yet answered

Spendesk is fully dedicated to this field. While we are still using Airtable for other purposes, such as automation, Spendesk allows us to get a well-structured process for approvals and improve the communication between different teams

I have only used RFPIO to facilitate searching for RFP answers. I have used Scout RFP only to respond to customer RFPs. I assume they have functional overlap, but my interactions with each have not included this functional overlap. For each tool's respective use, I have found them very simple, intuitive, and helpful.

• Reduce the approval time of expenses
• Improve the communication between departments

Incentivized

• Ease of responding to RFPs and winning business
• I don't have visibility into whether we have an actual $$$ of deals closed where we responded to the RFP within Scout RFP
• Other departments of my company may use Scout RFP for sending out RFPs and collecting RFP responses, thus reducing costs to issue RFPs
