The vendor intelligence problem

Without complete visibility, control breaks down. Vendor data is fragmented, insight arrives late, and teams are forced to react after outcomes are already locked in.

Cause

Data is fragmented

Vendor and spend information is scattered across emails, contracts, ERPs, portals, calls, and meeting notes. Without a shared system of record, no one has a complete or trusted view of vendors or spend at any given moment.

Effect

Delayed decision context

Teams spend hours pulling together vendor context before decisions can even begin. Information is stitched together late, inconsistently, and without confidence. By the time visibility exists, leverage is already lost.

Consequence

Late risk detection

Critical issues surface only after opportunities to act have passed, when impact is harder and costlier to avoid. Spend moves outside governance before it can be influenced.

Before

  • Fragmented vendor and cost visibility across the organisation
  • Cost drift hidden until commitments are locked in.
  • Decisions made on partial or outdated context.
  • Late discovery of cost exposure and risk

After

  • A complete vendor intelligence layer across the organisation
  • Continuous, organisation-wide visibility into cost exposure
  • Early signals surfaced while decisions are still in motion
  • Confident action with controlled spend and risk

The AI unlock

What's now possible

Modern AI makes it possible to understand vendor and spend data as it changes, across the organisation, so teams can act on signals before outcomes are locked in.

Make sense of messy vendor data

Pull meaning from emails, documents, ERPs, portals, and spreadsheets, so vendors and spend can be understood together, even when information is incomplete.

Get clear answers when decisions matter

When questions come up, relevant vendor, spend, and risk context can be retrieved on demand, grounded in how your organisation actually buys, without stitching together information from across the business.

Turn insight into decision-ready action

Prepare summaries and reports that support reviews, risk discussions, and leadership decisions, with human oversight.
