END-TO-END VISIBILITY
A leading fintech company with an annual turnover of $300m and 1,900 employees was relying heavily on third-party suppliers for goods and services. The business had a lean procurement function, and the senior leadership team had no visibility of spend across various indirect categories.
Financial data was siloed across various systems, with inconsistencies between reports from finance and business unit leaders. This lack of uniformity and transparency in third-party spend data prevented the company from pinpointing cost optimisation opportunities.
The business faced two major challenges:
Limited insight into organisational spending.
Absence of spend visibility, hindering cost optimisation opportunities.

Sourced data in MS Excel from multiple ERP systems and migrated it to the Spendkey platform.
Consolidated, condensed and cleaned the data to create a unified data set.
Auto-categorised the data using Spendkey’s standard taxonomy.
12 months of data analysed.
