How One Company Took Control of Their Tail Spend—Without Adding More Work 

Managing 6,000 suppliers across different locations? That’s a challenge.
But what if 95% of them made up less than 5% of total spend?

That’s exactly what we uncovered in a $300M indirect spend analysis for a client.

The result?

🔸 A lot of tiny purchases adding up to major inefficiencies
🔸 Average transaction size: $282
🔸 Thousands of invoices, approvals, and payments clogging up processes
🔸 No visibility into spend, making compliance a headache

💡 Our fix? Implementing a Purchasing Card (P-Card) Program.

✅ Reduced administrative costs—less paperwork, fewer manual approvals
✅ Full visibility into spend with a consolidated view
✅ Built-in compliance controls to enforce purchasing policies
✅ Faster, more efficient purchasing—empowering teams without losing control
✅ Earned financial rebates, turning spend into an additional revenue stream

The result? More savings. More efficiency. Less chaos.
