Procure Analytics’ existing offerings address its members’ core MRO and indirect spend through highly leveraged GPO contracts, and unplanned tail spend (‘spot buys’) through its Amicus Spend Management business. The acquisition of DSSI expands the capabilities of Amicus by providing managed procurement services to address members’ recurring, unmanaged spend.

“DSSI’s expertise in managed procurement services perfectly complements our existing offerings,” said Suja Katarya, CEO of Procure Analytics. “By combining our data-driven GPO model and Amicus Spend Management with DSSI’s deep procurement knowledge and global resources, we can now provide our members with a truly comprehensive solution to optimize their indirect spend across the board from strategic category management to tail spend sourcing.”

DSSI brings over 100 procurement professionals located in Michigan, Kentucky, Mexico, and Europe to the Procure Analytics team. This expanded team strengthens Procure Analytics’ ability to deliver world-class procurement services to its members on a global scale by giving them:

  • A hosted punchout catalog offering containing more than 2.5 million items, built-in workflow approval processes, and direct integrations with PA member ERP systems in standard formats;

  • Curated catalogs and custom solutions for individual members based on category strategy and individual company or site requirements;

  • Expanded category offerings and sourcing capabilities that cover chemicals, gases, welding supplies, repair services, OEM parts, capex, and much more;

  • Access to Mexico and 14 European markets with punchout and ERP integration capabilities in multiple languages, as well as dedicated teams stationed in Mexico and Slovakia.

“PA’s world-class experience in MRO makes them the perfect partner for DSSI,” said Bhagwan Thacker, CEO of DSSI. “I am thrilled to see our companies come together and excited for our customers to have the best support available for procurement of their MRO and indirect spend.”
