Poor visibility undermines indirect procurement savings and fuels non-compliance and inefficiency

Indirect procurement is essential for business operations and driving cost efficiencies. Yet, enterprises often struggle with decentralized, ad-hoc purchasing spread across teams, poor data quality, manual processes, misclassified spend, and generic reports. This lack of visibility and control causes maverick spend, non-compliance, and missed savings - making it difficult to steer indirect procurement towards strategic priorities like savings, operational efficiency, and sustainability.
