LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spend analysis is an important part of running a business, but many organizations neglect it, focusing only on certain expenses or prioritizing other operational concerns. However, when done properly, spend analysis can give businesses a clear understanding of what is affecting their spending, how they can maximize profitability over the long term, and the best approach towards budgeting and supply chain management. After a thorough assessment, companies can save thousands or even millions of dollars yearly.
Spend Analysis Market Trends
Procurement is an important area to monitor even for organizations that don’t have a high amount of direct spend, such as IT services companies that do not produce physical goods. Indirect procurement is often decentralized, making it difficult to obtain an accurate picture of expenses or to consolidate purchases across departments. It is therefore an area where spend analysis is invaluable.
A leading IT company recently approached SpendEdge for help consolidating its sourcing and procurement activities across target regions. SpendEdge conducted a detailed assessment of the existing spend areas at an individual business unit and region level, and identified common suppliers across business units. This allowed the company to identify and eliminate duplications in purchases and implement industry best practices, saving over $10 million as a result.
Spend analysis is an important part of reducing costs and streamlining procurement. It examines areas of spending that are often ignored when looking for ways to save money, and as one client discovered, can reveal very substantial inefficiencies. There is a great deal that can be learned by collecting, categorizing, and analyzing spend data.
