Introducing Epicforge: The Procurement Operating System for Intelligent Sourcing

Procurement teams have been asked to do the impossible: accelerate sourcing, enforce compliance, grow resilient supplier networks, and prove strategic value—all while working through spreadsheets, email threads, and siloed tools. Today, we are announcing Epicforge, the Procurement Operating System built to end that trade-off.

Epicforge brings every stage of the sourcing lifecycle into one coordinated workspace. Requests become guided workflows, vendor collaboration feels effortless, bid data arrives normalized, and AI delivers the insight needed to make bold, defensible decisions.

Why We Built Epicforge

The mission is simple: help procurement leaders move as fast as their business strategy. We listened to teams across industries and kept hearing the same pain points:

Manual RFQ processes that can stretch a simple sourcing event into a four-week slog.
Vendors stuck in complex portals, leading to poor participation and limited competition.
Inconsistent bid formats forcing analysts to reconcile numbers instead of evaluating them.
Lagging analytics that make meetings about “what happened” instead of “what to do next.”

Epicforge is here to remove those obstacles, so procurement can operate as a strategic intelligence center.
