Ivalua Acquires Directworks to Further Strengthen Direct Materials Management Capabilities

Ivalua, a global leader in Cloud Spend Management, today announced that it has acquired Directworks to better enable customers to manage direct materials and serve the needs of the manufacturing industry.

Directworks provides a better way for highly engineered product manufacturers to work collaboratively across teams and with suppliers to develop, launch and deliver more profitable products. Leading manufacturers use Directworks' cloud-based platform to more effectively engage stakeholders and suppliers and achieve greater product success.

We are thrilled to welcome the talented and knowledgeable Directworks team into the Ivalua family.”

“Directworks has helped manufacturers turn their suppliers into a competitive advantage,” said Michele Myers, President of Directworks. “Directworks customers will now be able to do so and manage the entire Source-Pay process with a single, analyst-recognized leading platform.”
