Our Procurement BI Solution
Our Procurement Dashboard aggregates purchase order, invoice, and contract data from your ERP and procurement systems into a single analytical view. Category managers can slice spend by supplier, commodity, business unit, or time period. Automated alerts notify buyers when contract expiration dates approach or when spending deviates from approved sources.
Some Key Performance Indicators we track:
- Spend under management and contract coverage rate
- Savings realized vs. savings target
- Maverick spend percentage
- Supplier on-time delivery and quality scores
- Purchase order cycle time
- Invoice processing time and error rate
- Number of active suppliers and consolidation ratio
