Prevent Savings Leakage
The average company loses 22% of negotiated cost savings to leakage due to poor contract management, inefficient supplier onboarding and other issues. Impendi Contract Compliance Analytics closes the gap between what you expected and what you got. By automating contract reconciliation, you’ll detect non-adherence and act.
With continuous monitoring, you will know if supplier spending is happening at contracted rates, which suppliers are overcharging, and whether the organization has missed any volume discounts, rebates, or entitlements. Armed with this intelligence, you can claw back lost savings and put remediation measures in place to prevent future leakage.
