The Challenge
No one sees combined third-party spend by category, so the leverage the merger created goes unused and supplier rationalisation stalls after the first wave.
How It Works
- Ingests spend data, contracts and supplier masters across the group.
- ML classifies spend to categories and benchmarks rates and terms.
- Feeds category managers ranked savings plays and tracks capture.
What It Removes
- No group view of third-party spend
- Category leverage left on the table
- Supplier rationalisation stalling post-close
Input Data RequirementsAP/spend data, contract register (A6), supplier masters, category taxonomies
