Consolidus Does this sound familiar? Procurement wants visibility into where the budget is actually going. Brand and licensing wants to stop finding out after the fact that someone ordered 500 shirts from an unlicensed vendor with an outdated logo from 2012. And your buyers? They just want to place an order without a three-week runaround. Most solutions solve for one of these. Consolidus solves all three — with one platform that ties it together for procurement leaders who are done managing the chaos. We're at 2026 Booth 201. Stop by and see how it works in practice. consolidus.com

Sunset. Surf vibes. Strong connections.
The EPIC community is officially together—jerseys, school spirit, and all. Thank you to supporting our crowd favorite tailgate. Consolidus Sourcewell
