Transforming Procurement Through UX-Driven Spend Management
Designed savvi’s platform to simplify B2B software transactions and drive contract visibility and efficiency.
Project Overview
savvi is an early-stage SaaS startup redefining how companies buy and manage their software. I was responsible for the end-to-end design of the platform—helping teams track spend, manage renewals, and collaborate with suppliers more efficiently. The goal was to streamline complex procurement workflows and empower teams to take control of their software investments with clarity and speed.

Final Solution
We designed savvi into a scalable, transparent, and user-friendly platform that streamlined procurement and simplified contract workflows.
Highlights
An end-to-end redesign of savvi’s platform — combining spend visibility, contract tracking, and vendor collaboration in one unified tool.
Understanding the Problem
Procurement teams struggled with manual, fragmented, and slow workflows. Important contract details were scattered across emails, spreadsheets, and shared drives. Renewal dates were missed. Vendor collaboration lacked visibility.
We set out to design a system that would centralise the process, reduce risk, and make procurement a strategic advantage.
Key Challenges
As an early-stage product, savvi needed to define clear workflows, solve real procurement pain points, and build user trust from day one.

Contracts Dashboard
A powerful central hub that enables teams to track, manage, and forecast software contracts with clarity and ease.
Initiatives
Creating and renewing software contract initiatives is a core function of savvi’s platform, built to streamline project setup and accelerate contract renewals.
Initiatives Management & Requests
Managing initiatives is central to savvi’s procurement flow. This feature allows users to structure vendor interactions clearly, aligning stakeholders and documentation in one collaborative space.
Suppliers & Activity
The Suppliers and Activity views work together to support seamless collaboration throughout the initiative. From tracking who’s involved to logging every interaction, this section brings clarity to complex workflows.
Finalising & Managing Contracts
After reviewing requests and collaborating with suppliers, users move into the contract finalisation stage, where all critical information is confirmed and stored. Once finalised, users can seamlessly access the contract details view to manage renewals, monitor risk, and track activity.
