Supplier, Department, and Category Insights

Procurement is concentrated among large suppliers such as PrimeTelecom, FutureEdge Telecom Corp, and EcoMarketing, all exceeding or nearing the 90 million mark, which may prompt supplier risk reviews or negotiation strategies.

Departmentally, spend is well-distributed across Finance, Admin, Marketing, Legal, and Procurement—all exceeding 5 billion—which suggests diversified procurement demand but also the necessity for department-level spend optimization initiatives.

Category analysis reveals IT Hardware and Software as leading spend segments, both above 3.4 billion, with significant secondary spends in Travel, Calibration, and Consulting Services.

Actionable Opportunities

Spend Variance: The notable gap between approved and actual spend suggests a need for tighter budget forecasts and review processes.

Maverick Spend: Addressing the 4.47 billion in non-compliant spend could lead to significant savings and compliance improvements.

Supplier Diversification: Heavy reliance on a handful of suppliers presents a concentration risk; supplier expansion and renegotiation strategies could yield cost and supply continuity benefits.

Category Management: High IT and services spend highlight areas for category strategy refinement, competitive bidding, or demand management.

Utilizing this dashboard, teams can prioritize initiatives to drive cost efficiencies, strengthen controls, and align procurement efforts with enterprise goals.
