Procurement

Who you buy from, what you buy, and where you are exposed.

The questions

How many vendors supply essentially the same thing across our sites?
Where are we single-source on parts we use widely?
Which duplicate part numbers are hiding spend?
What are we committed to buy, and when does the cash go out?

What you get

The ledger carries material descriptions, vendors, prices, lead times and plants, plus purchase order history and open commitments.

Where it pays off

Plants with large maintenance, repair and operations spend, where the same item is bought under many numbers from many vendors. Mining, heavy industry and any business with many sites.

Start with the data. Add the answers when you want them.
