Lack of control over unmanaged spend and spend data visibility has become a major challenge for companies in the telecom industry. Employing manual processes and legacy systems to execute routine transactions slows down processes and further increases complexities for companies. Moreover, ineffective spend management in large global enterprises with hundreds of categories results in decreased spend visibility, higher transaction costs, poor spend compliance, and longer cycle times. Companies without effective strategies usually end up without any tangible spend data and financial benefits. This has created the need for companies to build and maintain a robust spend management system.

According to the procurement experts at SpendEdge, “Companies possessing a huge amount of consumer data must leverage spend management solutions to gain numerous strategic, operational, and financial benefits."

The Business Problem: The client is a leading company in the telecom industry and is recognized for providing robust communication and broadband services. However, due to inefficient spend management capabilities and lack of visibility in processes, they were unable to analyze spend patterns in terms of suppliers and categories. This was not only hindering their business efficiency but also increasing their unmanaged spend. They also realized that they need to enhance their knowledge of the scale of spend and diversity within their organization to understand key spend areas and develop an accurate spend management system. The inability to measure indirect spend categories forced the telecom provider to leverage SpendEdge's expertise to monitor and measure their indirect purchasing performance.
