Spend Category Insights – Complete & Trusted

Procurement and spend category stakeholders collaborate and align better than ever, thanks to a comprehensive and accessible view of insights that reduce risk and drive savings, value, and compliance.

Closing the Procurement Relationship Gap

It can be challenging to get a complete, accurate, and timely picture of spend in a category and its subcategories. Without that transparency and understanding, procurement and spend owners don’t have the best data to make decisions. Opportunities for savings remain undetected or without buy-in. Lack of visibility may unintentionally reduce risk. Teams may struggle from a lack of trust, and the business ultimately suffers.

Actionable Category Spend Intelligence

Procurement teams use our Spend Intelligence software solution to improve collaboration with spend category stakeholders, to get more spend under management and in compliance – but also to work together to identify new value-creation opportunities previously not discovered. You get efficient, easy-to-understand spend insights that enhance category management, financial objectives, and non-financial/ESG goals as well.
