This flagship engagement is for purchasing organisations that already buy at scale but cannot yet show a single, defensible picture of where spend sits. We begin with a structured inventory of purchase-order extracts, invoice files, and cost-center mappings — usually from ERP exports and shared drives rather than a greenfield rebuild.

Together with your category leads we agree a taxonomy that reflects how buyers actually work in Thailand and across regional plants: direct materials, packaging, logistics, facilities, and professional services. From that base we produce spend maps, supplier concentration views, and maverick-spend highlights that stand up in a committee room.

What you receive is a set of visual briefings, a documented category model, and a working session that hands the method to your team. We do not take over day-to-day buying or claim to replace your ERP. The result is clarity your leadership can act on — which categories to challenge next, where single-supplier risk is highest, and which data gaps still need attention.

What is included

  • Inventory of available purchase-order, invoice, and cost-center extracts
  • Category taxonomy aligned to how your buyers actually work
  • Spend maps by category, business unit, and supplier
  • Concentration and maverick-spend views for priority categories
  • Two leadership briefing decks and a working handover session

What is outside scope

  • ERP implementation or licence procurement
  • Ongoing managed analytics staffing after handover
  • Negotiation of supplier contracts on your behalf

How the work proceeds

  1. Kickoff and data inventory with sourcing and finance owners
  2. Cleaning and mapping of historical spend into agreed categories
  3. Draft visuals reviewed with category leads
  4. Final briefings for purchasing leadership and finance partners

Preparation

Export of 12–24 months of purchase history where available; named contacts for each major category; clarity on which audiences will receive the final briefing.

Constraints

Quality depends on extract completeness. Incomplete facilities or plant ledgers are documented as known gaps rather than silently filled.
