Spend Management
Cost control and savings are still one of the most important goals within companies. Compared to revenue, savings have a direct impact on operational cash flows. This money is free available for investments improving companies’ competitiveness. The basis for potential savings is a transparent overview of spend per category/material group.
These qualified data supports the procurement manager to negotiate on a professional level with vendors using opportunities to reduce the current cost structure. Spend transparency is also the backbone of every souring strategy. Especially in multinational companies with different ERP systems, data consolidation is hard work and often impossible with the existing tools. Thus, companies need best in class spend analytic tools to improve the company’s value.
