Indirect Spend | Tail Spend

Tail spend makes up around 20% of the total spend, but involves 80% of suppliers. It usually involves a series of indirect or miscellaneous spend categories that aren?t the core of business, which is why many procurement departments tend to ignore tail spend in favor of focusing on the strategic spend. Tail spend is viewed both as less significant in terms of potential savings, and more of a hassle. But by neglecting it, organizations miss out on valuable opportunities for significant savings. We track down these savings with tail spend management tools and delivery options that are tailored to the specific needs of our clients.
