# Spend analysis

Systematic review of procurement spend by category, supplier and unit to find savings and consolidation opportunities.

## Définition

Spend analysis aggregates and classifies an organisation's purchasing data to reveal how much is spent, with whom and on what. It surfaces fragmented buying, off-contract purchases and supplier overlap, providing the fact base for category strategies, negotiations and consolidation.

## Exemple

> Analysis shows a manufacturer buys the same fasteners from eleven suppliers; consolidating to two unlocks a volume discount.

## Pourquoi c'est un risque pour l'entreprise

Without accurate spend data, organisations overpay through fragmented buying, miss consolidation opportunities and cannot identify off-contract purchases that bypass negotiated terms. Decisions about supplier rationalisation or new tenders are made on gut feel rather than evidence, and savings targets become guesswork.

## Comment le gérer

- Centralise purchase order, invoice and payment data in one system and clean it before analysis.
- Classify spend into consistent categories so like-for-like comparisons across periods and business units are possible.
- Identify off-contract spend and trace it back to root causes such as missing catalogue items or approval gaps.
- Refresh the analysis at least annually and before any major renegotiation or sourcing project.
- Use findings to prioritise category strategies and supplier consolidation initiatives.

### Comment Contracko aide

Contracko's batch data extraction pulls contract metadata, values, durations and renewal dates from PDFs and Word documents into structured exports, giving procurement teams the contract-side view needed to cross-reference against actual spend data and identify off-contract purchasing.

## Foire aux questions

Questions courantes sur ce terme.

- **Q:** What data sources are needed for a spend analysis?
  **A:** Typically purchase orders, invoice data, payment records and contract values. ERP exports, accounts-payable ledgers and procurement-system reports are the main feeds.

- **Q:** How often should spend analysis be refreshed?
  **A:** At minimum annually, and before any major sourcing decision or renegotiation. Organisations with live dashboards can do it continuously.

- **Q:** What is off-contract spend?
  **A:** Purchases made outside an existing framework or preferred-supplier agreement, often at higher prices and without contractual protections such as warranties or SLAs.

- **Q:** Can spend analysis uncover fraud?
  **A:** Yes. Patterns such as frequent just-below-threshold orders, payments to unusual suppliers or duplicate invoices are classic indicators that spend analysis can surface.

- **Q:** How does spend analysis connect to contract compliance?
  **A:** Comparing actual spend against contracted volumes and suppliers reveals whether minimum purchase obligations are being met and whether negotiated prices are actually applied at the point of purchase.
