Initial Situation
Organizations spend 15-30% of their procurement budgets on "long-tail" items (supplies, office materials, spare parts, tools, etc.). These purchases often occur in an uncontrolled manner across multiple channels with missing data and "maverick buying". Invoices are captured individually with no overview of total spending per department. Savings opportunities of 15-25% remain unused because there is no negotiating power and no cost transparency.
Your Solution with simple system
- Amazon Business integration provides full long-tail transparency
- All purchases via Amazon Business are centrally captured
- Automatic policy checks and budget limits per department/cost center
- Invoices automatically aggregated
- Spending trends, vendor comparisons and savings opportunities in real time
- Uncontrolled maverick purchases automatically blocked or flagged
Result: 80% reduction of uncontrolled maverick buying. 15-25% cost savings through bundling.
Your Benefit
- Time savings: 40% faster delivery through Amazon Prime
- EBIT impact: +15-25% cost savings through bundling, 80% less maverick buying. Break-even after 2-3 months
