Ivalua: For direct materials and enterprise configurability rather than intake speed
Levelpath
AI-native procurement built around intake, from the founders who previously built Scout RFP
As of 31 August 2026, Levelpath's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. A procurement platform designed so that employees requesting something never see a procurement form. Softwr lists it under ERP. Levelpath is available on Web, iOS, Android.
Overview
What Levelpath does
Levelpath covers intake-to-procure, sourcing, contract management, supplier management and risk, invoice automation and pipeline forecasting, with a set of autonomous AI agents that triage requests, gather supplier information and progress approvals. It was founded by Stan Garber and Alex Yakubovich, who previously built and sold Scout RFP to Workday, and has raised around 100 million US dollars including a 55 million Series B led by Battery Ventures in 2025. The design premise is worth stating plainly. Enterprise procurement suites are usually bought by procurement and hated by everyone else, so employees route around them and the spend under management figure never improves. Levelpath inverts that: the requester describes what they want in plain language on mobile or desktop, and the system classifies it, decides which policy path applies and assembles the approvals, with AI agents doing the chasing. Whether that holds up at genuine enterprise complexity is the open question, but it is the right diagnosis of why procurement platforms underperform. The buyer is a mid-market to enterprise company frustrated with an incumbent suite, or one implementing procurement software for the first time and unwilling to accept a two-year rollout. Pricing is not published. The trade-off is maturity: it is a young product competing against vendors with twenty years of edge cases, and areas such as direct materials, complex tax handling and deep ERP integration are where a challenger is most likely to be thin.
What people use it for
- A company where employees bypass the procurement system entirely and spend under management has stalled
- Replacing an enterprise suite whose rollout took two years and still has low requisition adoption
- A finance team wanting every purchase request routed through policy without hiring more procurement staff
- A mid-market company implementing procurement software for the first time and unwilling to fund a systems integrator

The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Levelpath.
- It is a young platform competing with suites that have two decades of accumulated edge cases, and gaps tend to appear in tax handling, direct materials and unusual ERP configurations.
- No pricing is published at any tier, so buyers cannot judge whether the AI-native positioning carries a premium over established competitors.
- AI agents that classify and route requests are only as good as the policy configuration behind them, and a company with ambiguous procurement policy gets ambiguous automation.
- Venture funding at this scale implies growth expectations, which historically produces price increases at renewal once a customer base is captured.
- The intake-first design assumes procurement problems are adoption problems, which is not true for organisations whose real issue is category strategy or supplier consolidation.

Questions people ask
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
Who is behind Levelpath?
Stan Garber and Alex Yakubovich, who previously founded Scout RFP and sold it to Workday.
Is pricing published?
No. Pricing is quoted by company size and module selection.
How long is implementation?
Levelpath positions implementation in weeks rather than the quarters typical of enterprise source-to-pay, which is the main practical claim to test in a reference call.
Does it handle direct materials?
It is built primarily for indirect spend. Manufacturers with bill of materials sourcing should look at established direct-capable suites.
