About us
Why Elevatryexists.
What 25 years in strategic procurement showed us: even strong teams actively manage only a fraction of their suppliers. Typically around 20 %. The other 80 % just run along.

Your team can do more.
But the week has only five working days.
That experience became Elevatry. With Companions, procurement teams actively manage their entire supplier portfolio, including the 80 % that day-to-day business leaves no time for.
