The leak surfaces weekly
“We find the overspend at audit, a year after we paid it.”
Indirect spend sat across entities on non-standard vendor and category coding. One supplier charged different units different prices, and the gap surfaced at year end.
Spend was normalised onto one category tree with vendors resolved to single identities. Agents benchmark unit prices across the group and against outside references continuously, and raise off-contract buying, duplicate vendors and price drift as findings each week.
