“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Tonkean,” Michael Kofler, PSG’s CEO, said. “PSG was started with a commitment to leverage innovative technology to reduce high process costs in indirect spend management and simplify request, approval, ordering and invoicing procedures. Tonkean’s process orchestration technology represents an important step forward for the procurement function to that end, and will provide immense value for us, our clients and our suppliers.”
