Overview

What is CORE S2P

Strategic Sourcing is an enterprise application that digitizes how organizations run sourcing events from a single workspace. As a foundational pillar of our core Spend Management Software, it ensures category teams can discover suppliers, compare bids on weighted criteria, and document award decisions with a full audit trail.

Source is the strategic-sourcing pillar of the ATLA source to pay software platform. It manages the full sourcing lifecycle — from category strategy and RFx creation through evaluation, negotiation and award — on structured, auditable workflows.

Beyond running sourcing events, Source brings strategic sourcing software capabilities to the enterprise: category playbooks, should-costing, supplier benchmarking and savings tracking, so sourcing shifts from reactive purchasing to a data-driven discipline.

Everything awarded here flows directly into the Contract and Procure pillars on the shared ATLA backbone — no rekeying between award and PO.
