Advanced Strategic Sourcing Spend Analytics
Find and share meaningful insights through data visualizations, AI-driven categorization, and prebuilt custom data connectors - all integrated with Excel. A single source of truth will provide the business intelligence to understand historical and real time company spending, identify opportunities for savings across your sourcing activities, and help you and your finance team to accurately forecast future spend.
Simplicity Starts with Visibility
Scanmarket's Spend Analytics technology identifies supplier dependencies and opportunities for savings through instant visibility to company-wide spend. Our application is designed to provide a high-level overview for category managers or finance teams, using category and regional filters. The preconfigured dashboards provide as much detail as you need and if they don’t provide the right details, we can create custom dashboards tailored to your specific needs.

Transferring Your Data
There are two ways to transfer your data - and you chose which suits you and your business processes:
- Manual Data Transfer When It Suits You
Import your spend data using excel or any other tabular file format within minutes, using a secure SFTP server for your data transmission.
- Automated Data Transfer
If you prefer automatic data import, you can use any standard business connector, connecting most ERPs via open and non-proprietary standards. It uses the internet as a communication platform and allows you to automate the process of fetching new data.
