Tail Spend

Unlock incremental value for your business through improved spend visibility, tighter spend controls, and increased purchasing efficiency. Our customized, integrated program will identify and address root cause issues to reduce your tail spend. Otherwise known as ad-hoc, rogue, low-value, non-strategic spend, or infrequent spot buys, tail spend typically makes up approximately 80% of transactions but cover only 20% of total spend — making it ripe for savings potential.

Our unique approach uncovers your tail spending and resolves root cause issues. We begin by gaining spend visibility and developing an enterprise-wide tail supplier assessment (TSA). We’ll also evaluate your purchasing policy, processes, and buying channels, as well as opportunities for tech and automation. We’ll translate our analysis into key strategic levers: eliminate, reprice, shift, and manage. Not only will we develop an implementation plan for savings realization, we’ll also execute and measure its performance with custom reporting dashboards to drive sustained value for your business.
