Experience the difference
At Eversource, we understand the complexities and challenges of managing supplier relationships across distributed teams. Our mission is to streamline your procurement process, ensuring you gain control, improve efficiency, and achieve compliance with ease.
Decades of thoughtful simplicity
For almost a decade, we’ve been transforming procurement management. Our founder, once at the helm of a procurement management company for some of New Zealand’s largest brands, recognised a significant gap. These large, complex organisations were stuck using supplier-operated systems, leading to poor oversight and lack of cost control. Switching suppliers only complicated matters further.
As the team has developed and we've partnered with our customers, the platform has evolved, offering more than just procurement solutions. It became a fully-integrated, modular supply chain software—a single source of information, communication, and contact with suppliers.
We're now on a mission to modernise and change the procure-to-pay category. Combining our experience with a fresh approach to solving customer problems, we are taking on the established organisations in this category.

John-G Snaith
John has always understood franchises. He began his career with Mercedes-Benz in the United Kingdom before Sir Colin Giltrap brought him to New Zealand to manage Volvo cars.
When moving into procurement management, he immediately saw that the industry could be delivering more for clients. Those were the beginnings of Eversource – a system that supported and enabled people, values it still holds today. Founding True North New Zealand (Supply Chains) and Youtopia Technologies, the strengths of the software are demonstrated with outsourced managed services and in-house solutions.
John takes a genuine interest in our clients and the way Eversource helps achieve their goals.
