IPEX · MAP — Materials Acquisition Program

The fastest way to put your tail spend under control.

MAP is the quick-win IPEX solution — a managed procurement program with GPO buying power, not just a catalog. Guided buying across pre-negotiated, pre-vetted suppliers delivers savings and control on your day-one categories, in weeks.

The standard growth path: start with MAP, then expand into P2P as a strategic transformation.
The problem it removes

Day-one buying without leverage is money left on the table.

Before MAP, routine purchases go to whoever is easiest — at list price, with no governance and no record. The savings and the control simply aren't there.

List-price buying

Without aggregated volume, every team pays retail for the same commodities — over and over.

Random suppliers

One-off vendors onboard with no vetting, no terms, and no diversity or compliance record.

Slow to value

Standing up sourcing for the tail traditionally takes quarters. MAP delivers value in weeks.

How it works

Curated, guided, and pre-negotiated.

MAP puts GPO leverage and governance into a buying experience your team already understands.

1

Curated catalog

Pre-vetted suppliers and pre-negotiated, GPO-backed pricing for your day-one categories.

2

Guided buy

Buyers pick the right item the right way — punch-out and hosted catalogs in one place.

3

GPO pricing

Aggregated volume applies automatically — savings on every line, no negotiation needed.

4

Auto-routed PO

Approvals self-route by policy; the purchase order issues with a clean, governed record.

What you get

A quick win that compounds.

GPO savings

Immediate, aggregated buying power on commodity categories.

Fast to value

Stood up in weeks, not quarters — savings start early.

Built-in governance

Every supplier vetted; every purchase recorded and compliant.

A path to P2P

The same exchange and data extend into full procure-to-pay.

Where it fits

Slots into your buying with no re-platforming.

MAP runs on IPEX and connects to your punch-out catalogs and ERP. Buyers get an easier experience; you get clean, matched data flowing back — with the option to expand into full P2P whenever you're ready.

  • Punch-out & hosted catalogs
  • GPO & pre-negotiated supplier agreements
  • ERP integration — SAP Ariba and more
  • Upgrades into P2P on the same platform

Most clients start with MAP on MRO and packaging — the GPO pricing tends to pay for the program early, then they expand into full P2P on the same exchange.
