Is your procurement team delivering measurable impact? Struggling to track performance or prove value to the business?
We help you define the right KPIs, build dashboards, and drive continuous improvement — turning procurement into a visible performance engine.

Why is it important?

Breaking down procurement into subcategories is a foundational step. It provides visibility into external spend and helps identify where the procurement team should focus to deliver the most value.​

What outcome to expect?

Through effective Procurement Categorization, a company can deliver:​

​

  • Visibility & Control Over Spend.​

  • Allow adapted procurement strategy per categories.​

  • Improved Supplier Management.​

  • Strategic Focus & Resource Allocation.

Our Methodology

1

Gather data on POs / invoices​

Consolidate spend data from all relevant systems (P2P, ERP, etc.) to build a reliable and complete dataset as the foundation.​

2

Identify patterns and categories​

Analyze supplier, item, and description-level data to detect recurring themes and group purchases into relevant procurement categories.​

3

Apply categories to all POs / invoices

Deploy the category taxonomy across the dataset to classify all transactions consistently — enabling cross-entity and cross-geography harmonization.​

4

Set up and operationalize the segmentation​

Operationalize the purchasing process based on this new segmentation and organize the procurement team to support main areas of spend identified within this segmentation.​
