Launch of Claight Hub and Procure 360
Claight and its procurement‑intelligence arm Procurement Resource announced that the AI‑powered platforms Claight Hub and Procure 360 will be officially launched at the DPW Amsterdam 2026 exhibition. Live demonstrations are scheduled for 30 September and 1 October 2026 at Booth S31, where attendees can book demo slots in advance via the provided URL.
Platform Overviews
Claight Hub consolidates category intelligence reports, commodity price forecasts, should‑cost models, supplier intelligence, market signals, an Inrity AI assistant, and secure document delivery into a single workspace. The platform delivers structured, regularly refreshed reports covering market size, demand drivers, supply landscape, cost structures, pricing dynamics, regulation and sourcing strategies across thousands of direct and indirect categories. Commodity tracking spans chemicals, metals, agricultural inputs and energy, with an inflation monitor that benchmarks basket costs against headline indices. Should‑cost models break products into raw materials, conversion, energy, labour, logistics and margin components, while supplier intelligence provides profiles, financial signals, sanctions and risk screening. Market‑signal cards surface supply disruptions, policy changes, price moves and capacity announcements, and the Inrity AI assistant answers category questions in plain language, drafts summaries and points users to underlying data.
Procure 360 transforms global import‑export records into searchable trade intelligence for sourcing teams. Users can input an HS code or product description, select markets and time periods, and instantly receive consolidated shipment counts, traded values, volumes and average unit values, with month‑by‑month trend lines. The platform covers shipment‑level data from more than 70 country sources, offering importer and exporter rankings, market‑volume breakdowns by origin, destination, port and HS sub‑code, and multidimensional cross‑tabulation without exporting to spreadsheets. Detailed row‑level records include consignee, shipper, quantity, declared value, unit price and transport details, all normalized and translated into English. A cost‑controlled data access model provides a free sample and cost estimate before full record retrieval. The same Inrity AI assistant embedded in Claight Hub also powers Procure 360, guiding users from raw shipment data to sourcing recommendations.
Award Shortlist and Recognition
Both platforms have been shortlisted for the Procurement Leaders Asia Pacific Solution Provider Award 2026, which recognises the most impactful technology or service for procurement functions in the region.

Individual Accolade
Avni Johari, Assistant Vice President of Procurement Research at Claight, has been named a finalist for the 2026 Future of Sourcing Rising Star Award.

Winners will be announced at the SIG Global Executive Summit in Chicago on 26 October 2026.
Executive Commentary
Ayush Mukherjee, Vice President of Procurement Research at Claight, stated that “procurement teams have had access to market data and trade data for years, but it has sat in separate tools, most of them built for analysts or compliance teams rather than for buyers. Claight Hub and Procure 360 are built around the questions a category manager actually asks… Being shortlisted by Procurement Leaders is a strong signal that this is the right direction, and we are looking forward to putting both platforms in front of the DPW community in Amsterdam.”
Vishal Ranjan, CEO and Founder of Claight, added that “Avni’s nomination reflects the depth of procurement thinking that goes into what we build. Platforms like Claight Hub and Procure 360 are only as good as the people who understand the buyer’s problem, and this recognition is well deserved.”
