Paris, July 16, 2026. Ivalua, the enterprise AI platform for procurement, today announced a strategic partnership with Unite, a European procurement platform connecting buyers and suppliers for fair and sustainable business. Through this collaboration, Ivalua customers will be able to better manage tail and non-contracted spend by accessing Unite’s extensive network of over 2,000 vetted European suppliers directly within Ivalua, enabling more efficient, transparent, and sustainable procurement operations.
The partnership integrates Ivalua’s enterprise AI platform with Unite’s compliant, catalog‑based marketplace infrastructure, empowering organizations to streamline supplier management, consolidate long‑tail purchasing, and increase spend visibility.
Through this integration, customers can access Unite’s network of pre-vetted European suppliers and manage non‑contracted spend digitally through Ivalua. Buyers will be able to search, compare, and purchase from Unite’s supplier network while maintaining their existing Ivalua workflows, approval processes, and compliance controls.
The integration also enhances Ivalua’s ‘Search360 technology’* by providing instant access to products not covered by existing contracts, while also allowing Unite to incorporate customers’ contracted supplier catalogs and make them available across both Unite’s website and Ivalua’s Search360. This simplifies the search experience and reduces the time spent sourcing items.
Customers can expect immediate benefits, including expanded catalogs, easier access to localized suppliers across Europe, and improved data clarity to support better financial oversight and strategic decision-making.
Additionally, the partnership supports sustainability goals by making it easier to identify responsible suppliers and source locally, aligned with Unite’s focus on fair competition and strong regional ecosystems.
“Partnering with Unite gives our customers an even stronger procurement ecosystem,” said Gabriel Giret, VP Alliances at Ivalua. “Unite’s marketplace adds breadth, compliance, and supplier diversity to the Ivalua experience, empowering organizations to make smarter, more sustainable purchasing decisions with simplicity and control.”
“Ivalua and Unite share a commitment to simplifying procurement for modern organizations,” said Zachary Rubio Grundell, Head of Global Partner Management at Unite. “Together, we’re making it easier for companies to discover trusted suppliers, streamline purchasing, and build more resilient, sustainable supply chains.”
*Ivalua’s Search360 feature allows users to search for an item across local and external catalogs in a single search session within Ivalua’s user interface.
