Efficient Spend Analysis with Eyvo!

Streamlining costs in the business world today is increasingly dependent on extensive analysis. The aspect of cost analysis has now become a crucial part for any organization of reasonable size, and has even been given a specific name: spend analysis. Industry gurus and experts continue to debate on the many aspects of spend management through analysis of expenditure, and numerous theories and principles have been put forth to refine this part of business.

With time, spend analysis has taken on a slightly more specific meaning, which is the process of collecting, classifying, and cleansing expenditure data to reduce procurements costs in particular. In any organization, most major spending is done on procurement of materials and equipment. Therefore, more control over the costs, vendors, and the commodities automatically implies improved spend analysis, ultimately maximizing profit.

Since the advent of e-procurement software, the purchasing side of the industry has seen drastic changes and many different applications of the software have been discovered. One such application is in spend analysis. Automated purchasing software, particularly those which are cloud-based, often makes controlling and tracking corporate spending a breeze. This is because most, if not all, data on current procurement software is transparent and updated in real-time.

By using cloud-based procurement software, C-suite executives of the organizations can easily take in the big picture and look at past spending and performance levels. They can also determine the value of each department in terms of expenditure and profit. This would have been a time-intensive process if purchasing was done through the conventional paper-based system

For larger organizations, these systems scale down the operations to a manageable level of analysis. At the same time, cloud spend control solutions remain affordable enough for small and midsized business to put to use too.

For efficacious analysis of a company’s procurement expenses, spend visibility is necessary. E-procurement software takes spend visibility to a whole new level by enabling executives to keep track of all the expenditure information needed to make major financial decisions. Automated reports can be generated to help with these decisions.

For organizations struggling with the issue of maverick buying, cloud spend control solutions can be a godsend. The company can define rules in the software which prevent any unwanted decentralized purchasing. All purchases made are transparent, the level of which can be controlled by defining a hierarchy in the software. Spending is thus controlled at all levels of the organization.

Report generation is a crucial part of spend analysis. Our cloud-based procurement software is able to generate reports on a real-time basis, keeping managers updated and providing valuable insight into the market at a glance. By having the necessary data at their disposal, procurement officers are able to negotiate better with vendors too. Pre-built reports offer information like spending trend, current spend, and vendor performance.

The importance of tracking corporate spending is increasing day by day, and not just for large organizations. Spend analysis is just as essential to smaller businesses too. Competition is cutthroat, and every edge is needed to survive.
