Strukton (project in progress) — Classifying 35,000 procurement lines a month into UNSPSC

A major Dutch contractor had two dedicated staff manually assigning categories to supplier invoices - a slow, error-prone process that made spend analysis unreliable and procurement benchmarking impossible.

Pearstop automated category assignment across 140,000+ line items, eliminated duplicate supplier records, and delivered a clean procurement dataset that feeds directly into their SAP system and reporting tools.

We used to have two full-time staff working on category assignment. Now the system does this for us - which has unlocked margin estimations further down the line too. It is more reliable at a fraction of the cost.

What our clients say

From procurement teams to operations directors - the impact shows up in the numbers.

★★★★★

Our asset data was spread across spreadsheets and feeding from clients' legacy systems. None of it was consistent enough to do anything analytical with. Pearstop consolidated and structured it and suddenly we had something we could actually build on.

ClientAsset Manager · SPIE
★★★★★

We had thousands of product lines that needed to be categorised before we could even begin to understand our costs. Pearstop classified them in under a week. That would have taken our team six months and still would not have been this accurate.
