The LUPR Story
Sean Harley, LUPR founder and CEO, has spent over 20 years in procurement consulting. He has experienced firsthand the struggles and frustrations companies face when using outdated information to manage their suppliers.
One pivotal event stands out in Sean’s career: He was consulting for a global oil company when they experienced a catastrophic ocean spill caused by one of their suppliers. The fallout was extensive, encompassing significant financial losses, severe reputational damage, and devastating environmental impacts. Sean was brought in to mitigate the crisis, developing and implementing a comprehensive risk management strategy that addressed immediate cleanup efforts, regulatory compliance, and long-term supplier engagement protocols.
This experience underscored for Sean the critical importance of effectively managing supplier quality and risks. It became evident that traditional methods, such as spreadsheets, are inadequate for handling such crucial tasks. Sean’s insights from this event have since driven his commitment to advancing procurement and supplier management practices, emphasizing the need for integrated solutions that enhance efficiency, reduce risks, and drive sustainable value across the organization. By doing so, organizations can not only avoid catastrophic failures but also build more resilient and responsible supply chains.
With a clear vision in mind, Sean embarked on assembling a team, with the expertise and experience to ensure the successful realization of LUPR’s ambitious goals.
Fun Fact: LUPR was built entirely on the Salesforce platform, offering unique integration capabilities for enhanced supplier management directly within your existing CRM system.

Our Partners
Revolutionizing Procurement
Unleashing the Power of Information and Collaboration
At LUPR, our goal is to help companies maximize their supplier value so they can experience greater cost savings and reduced risk.
Supply chains are complex, which often results in information gaps for many businesses. Critical data gets lost in email boxes or isn’t adequately captured in meetings. Procurement managers may lack easy access to the organization-wide and real-time supplier insights they need to ensure a stable supply chain.
LUPR finds hidden data and consolidates it into a single view, providing a real-time analysis of suppliers, categories, and products/services. It allows procurement teams create benchmarks and options if a supplier is falling behind.
What Our Clients Are Saying
Trusted by Businesses to Transform Supplier Management
LUPR was essential in developing and implementing a procurement savings tracking system for a key client. The client's existing savings tracking system was beset by several problems – it was spreadsheet-based and cumbersome to maintain and reported savings were extremely difficult to tie to actual financial results. With LUPR, we were able to deliver an intuitive, simple-to-maintain solution, and report savings based on actual company spend data, making it possible to tie the reported savings to the client's financial reports. Our client is extremely happy with the results. Tenzing
We have used LUPR for over three years. It continues to provide transparency across multiple sites, helping to leverage project management, build key supplier history, drive continuous improvement and best practices, and improve service to business stakeholders.
CF Industries
LUPR helped us deliver an intuitive procurement savings tracking system that replaced our client's mess of cumbersome spreadsheets. By tying savings to actual spend, we were able to easily validate against financials and prove the effectiveness of our chosen approach. This solution dramatically increased client satisfaction. We will be recommending LUPR for all of our future procurement category management projects.
