Lytica Inc., a provider of electronic component spend analytics and risk intelligence using real customer data, announced the launch of the Trends plug-in for its SupplyLens Pro platform. This new plug-in enhances the market intelligence platform with historical pricing data and analysis to enable qualified customers to better assess their supplier relationships.   

With the addition of Trends, Lytica customers can gain insight into their performance over time compared to market pricing. This tracking and performance data allows customers to rank and compare their suppliers to one another. This analysis shows which suppliers have been competitive in the market and which have not been providing appropriate cost reductions. Trends also compares manufacturers and suppliers on attributes such as design support, quality, delivery performance and other attributes to empower businesses with added negotiation leverage.  

“Trends is an exciting product for us, as it unlocks significant opportunities for our customers, especially during extreme market conditions like the shortages experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Martin Sendyk, CEO, Lytica. "Trends sets you up to make more strategic decisions and avoid falling back into a ‘pain’ scenario during market constraints. With the help of Lytica’s Trends analysis and insights, your sourcing and procurement teams can be more informed, more confident and more empowered. We’re always looking for new ways to tap into the real market data and pricing information we have at our fingertips, and we’re looking forward to providing additional value for customers with Trends.”
