After studying together at the British Columbia Institute of Technology and a stint in the consulting world, Co-Founders Aman Mann (CEO), Kenneth Loi (Chief Customer Officer) and Eugene Dong (CTO), recognized these operational issues were omnipresent and decided to take up the challenge.

These are the challenges that the Procurify Co-Founders decided to tackle.
