Spend Taxonomy Excellence

With category management becoming more important, having the right information and insights per category at your fingertips is crucial. For that, an optimized and meaningful category spend tree with accurately classified spend is a must-have. The spend framework (or taxonomy) is the DNA of any organization in terms of its spend. While being unique, it will go through changes together with the organization (think of acquisitions, new product development and change in supplier’s service dynamics).

Crafting a new taxonomy

When you don’t yet have a taxonomy for your indirect spend, or want to improve your taxonomy for your direct spend you can use our ”Taxonomy Builder” to receive your recommended master spend tree based on best practices, industry benchmarks and the MECE principle. MECE stands for mutually exclusive (ME) and collectively exhaustive (CE). 

 

 

Seeing relationships

In case you have different taxonomies and don’t want to change them, you still might want to see the relationships between them and cross-reference. Could be taxonomies between entities or between the finance GL classification and your current procurement master tree. Having a meta-taxonomy layer will show more addressable spend and more untapped opportunities. Why miss out on millions of cost savings?

 

 

Seeing is Believing! 

 

Imagine an augmented process where data analysis and visibility, opportunity assessment and validation, and monitoring execution is supported by A.I. agents. It allows category owners to solely focus on strategy development, stakeholder alignment (both internally and externally) and business impact recognition.
