Full visibility on your tail spend

Why tail spend is hard to see

Small purchases are spread over many suppliers, invoice formats, cards and expense notes. Spend analysis tools rarely classify them well, so procurement and finance lack a reliable view.

What you see

• What was bought, by whom and from which supplier
• The cost of every purchase, matched to your PO number
• How many orders, invoices and suppliers run through one creditor
• Which purchases recur and could move to a catalogue

How the data comes together

1. Every request runs through Spot Buy Center with a PO number.
2. We order, receive the supplier invoice and check it.
3. All data lands in one structured flow and in your reporting.
4. You use it to steer policy, catalogues and supplier choices.

From visibility to savings

With clear data you can move frequent purchases to catalogues, set buying channels and reduce the supplier base further. See how procurement teams use it, or calculate your potential with the tail spend ROI calculator.

Spend visibility: frequently asked questions

What is tail spend?

Tail spend is the large group of small, non-strategic purchases outside your main contracts. It covers most suppliers and invoices but a small share of total spend.

What reports do we get?

A transparent overview of every transaction: what was bought, by whom, from which supplier and at what cost, linked to your PO numbers.

Can the data go into our own BI or ERP?

Yes. Every invoice carries your PO number and the data is digital, so it fits your ERP and reporting.

Do we need a spend analysis tool?

Not for tail spend that runs through Spot Buy Center: the data is clean and classified at the source.

How does visibility lead to savings?

It shows where to set up catalogues, where to bundle demand and which suppliers to phase out.
