About SourcingXPress
Corporate Overview & History
SourcingXPress was founded in 2015 by a group of veteran procurement professionals who identified a gap in the market for end‑to‑end, technology‑driven sourcing solutions for mid‑size and large enterprises. Headquartered in New Delhi, the company started as a boutique strategic sourcing consultancy and quickly expanded its service portfolio to include category management, supplier risk analytics, and procurement automation. By 2018, SourcingXPress had opened its first offshore delivery centre in Bangalore, followed by additional hubs in Hyderabad, Pune and Chennai. The firm now operates a global delivery network that serves clients across North America, Europe, APAC and the Middle East, with regional sales offices in New York, London and Singapore.
The core mission of SourcingXPress is “to transform spend into strategic advantage”. Leveraging a proprietary cloud‑based platform, the company combines data‑science, AI‑enabled spend analytics and a deep bench of sourcing experts to deliver cost‑savings, risk mitigation and operational efficiency for its clients.
Core Business Operations & Divisions
SourcingXPress structures its offerings across four primary divisions:
- Strategic Sourcing & Category Management – end‑to‑end sourcing, market intelligence, supplier negotiations and contract lifecycle management.
