Uncovering procurement inefficiencies hidden in unclassified spend
A mid-sized manufacturer had years of procurement data in SAP with no consistent categorisation. Without spend visibility, identifying supplier consolidation opportunities or benchmarking costs across sites was impossible.
The procurement team needed to turn messy spend into a category-level view that leadership could actually use.
Pearstop cleaned and classified the full spend dataset, surfacing inefficiencies that were immediately actionable for the procurement team.
The team needed a clean baseline before it could negotiate better contracts and consolidate suppliers.
What changed?
This is a strong example of procurement data quality work in manufacturing, where SAP data often needs a lot of help before it becomes usable.
