Spend Analytics

Lack of clear visibility into spend data prevents organizations from achieving value from their procurement data. Whether it is for cost optimization, compliance or supplier innovation, it all begins with having the right data.

Low value purchases which often account for around 20% of the total spend and 80% of the supplier base are often ignored. The tail spend data is fraught with characteristics - Poor data visibility, low volume, time sensitivity, unique and often unstable specifications. It has now become crucial to clean, categorize and consolidate tail spend with the rest of your spend.

This will result in achieving reduced cost of procurement operations and managing higher spend.
