From 50 to 1,200 employees: how Factorial kept its SaaS spend from outgrowing the business

Join Fabio Arnoldo, Director of Procurement at Vertice, and Javi Albert, Head of Procurement at Factorial, for a Discovery Lab on scaling software spend control through hypergrowth. 8 October 2026, 12:00–12:30, Room 4, World Trade Center Barcelona.

What you'll take away:

• How Factorial kept SaaS costs growing slower than headcount as the company scaled from 50 to 1,200 employees
• When to put a formal procurement process in place for software, and what changes as a business moves from startup to scale-up
• How to get visibility over a fast-growing SaaS stack before redundant tools and shadow spend take hold
• How procurement and finance can stay ahead of renewals instead of reacting to them
• A practitioner's view from Factorial's Head of Procurement on what worked, and what they'd do differently
