In-depth Use Case / Real-world Example
A manufacturing company producing household appliances performs Spend Analysis by Category to evaluate where the company spends most of its money. For instance, it might find that 60% of its procurement spend is on raw materials, 30% on services (e.g., logistics, maintenance), and 10% on packaging. By analyzing these categories, the company can identify areas for cost-cutting, negotiate better rates, or find more efficient suppliers.
