Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Zivio is a legitimate, established (c. 2015) B2B SaaS platform for Statement of Work (SOW) spend management with verifiable enterprise clients (e.g., Lockheed Martin, Telent). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing factually incorrect claims ('audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') that contradict the specialized nature of the tool. While the software solves a genuine high-value problem in procurement, the lack of transparency in the submission and the small team size (~5-12 employees) limit the score compared to verified market leaders.

Description
Zivio is the #1 statement of work (SOW) spend management platform for procurement teams, MSPs and BPOs. Organisations spend $Trillions per year across a wide range of services procurement categories such as IT, consulting, professional services, legal, marketing etc. In most cases this huge, complex and critically important spend is very poorly managed. We disrupt the norm by acknowledging that current mindsets and outdated technology are key issues in this market. As agents of change, we’re here to alter perspectives and push innovation, establishing ourselves as the go-to solution for tackling SOW issues head-on and driving ROI. Zivio delivers modern, intuitive, SaaS, packed with enterprise-class tools for delivering return on any spend or service contracted under a statement of work (SOW). Providing autonomous sourcing and end-to-end statement of work spend management, Zivio helps procurement teams and MSP/BPO partners achieve rapid ROI across services procurement categories, whilst improving efficiency and getting more spend under control.
