Most procurement teams are drowning in RFPs for the big contracts. Meanwhile, tail spend is quietly leaking 15–30% of their budget.
It involves 80%+ of all supplier transactions. Each purchase looks small. So it gets ignored.
But a 5% saving on tail spend can equal a 10% increase in net profit. A 2024 BCG study found organisations can realise 5–10% in savings just by actively managing it.
The problem isn’t effort — it’s visibility.
Fragmented suppliers, missing data, and compliance gaps pile up quietly in unmanaged tail spend. And most finance and procurement teams are already stretched across higher-value categories.
So tail spend just… sits there.
That’s the gap we fill. We do the digging across 60+ cost categories, find what’s been missed, and only get paid if savings are found.
No savings, no fee.
