For procurement and category management
Which suppliers hold more of a category than the contract allows. Which site is buying off-contract. Which category depends on one supplier with no second source. From the purchase ledger, reconciled to accounts payable.
Every sales page on this site measures how much of a customer's wallet you hold. This one measures how much of your wallet each supplier holds, by category and site, and reconciles it to what accounts payable actually paid.
Share of category spend per supplier against the share the contract set. The drift is shown in dollars.
Purchases outside the agreement, by site and requester, ranked by value.
Categories where one supplier holds more than a threshold you set, with the second source named if there is one.
Three steps, in this order.
By supplier, category, site and period.
Contracted shares and prices by category. A spreadsheet is fine.
Category managers see drift and risk. The CPO sees the roll-up.
Short answers. The Help center has the long ones.
