Energy Industry Challenges

Maverick Buying & Tail Spend Transparency

Non-core procurement often escapes centralized control, leading to untracked spending and missed savings potential.

Lack of Standardized Intake-to-Order Processes

Disconnected departments and inconsistent workflows hinder procurement from gaining control or optimizing costs.

Inconsistent Supplier Compliance

Evaluating and managing varying supplier access levels (e.g., plant entry, self-service keys) creates a compliance and risk bottleneck.
