RiseNow

What RiseNow does

RiseNow, LLC is a Leawood, Kansas-based professional services firm founded in 2010 that helps enterprises design, build, and operate next-generation procurement and supply chain functions. The firm organizes its work around three service phases — Design (front-end operating model and readiness assessment), Build (technology implementation across source-to-pay, WMS, point-of-use, and clinical supply chain systems), and Operate (managed services and workforce support) — and serves primarily healthcare systems and large enterprise procurement organizations. Notable clients include Mayo Clinic, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Baylor Scott & White Health, UNC Health, Virtua Health, Carilion Clinic, Coca-Cola, Wabtec, Polaris, PPG Industries, California State University, and North Carolina A&T State University.

RiseNow does not offer a proprietary technology platform; instead, it acts as a tech-agnostic systems integrator and advisor implementing third-party procurement and supply chain technologies (Coupa, JAGGAER, Tecsys, ServiceNow, Workday, Zip, GEP). Its differentiated offerings include the RiseTalent apprenticeship program — described as the first such program in procurement and supply chain, recruiting the top 1% of applicants and delivering 500+ hours of structured training — and a suite of self-service maturity index assessment scorecards used for lead generation and diagnostic scoping. The firm employs 101–250 people and operates exclusively in the United States.

The business model is professional services and managed services revenue, delivered through enterprise field sales (CTAs include 'Book A Diagnostic' and 'Start a Project'). Engagements are project-based or structured as recurring managed services contracts, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Marketing is content-led, anchored by a blog, case studies, maturity scorecards, and LinkedIn presence. The company received a growth investment from Achieve Partners in October 2024 to scale RiseTalent.
