Simplicity Starts with Visibility
Scanmarket's Spend Analytics technology identifies supplier dependencies and opportunities for savings through instant visibility to company-wide spend.
Our application is designed to provide a high-level overview for category managers or finance teams, using category and regional filters. The preconfigured dashboards provide as much detail as you need and if they don’t provide the right details, we can create custom dashboards tailored to your specific needs.
Monitor and reduce environmental impact
Scanmarket’s Carbon Accounting reporter extends visibility of an organization’s supplier data, allowing them to track and analyze Scope 3 carbon emissions, ultimately helping them to reduce their environmental impact.
With single-source data collection and advanced reporting and dashboarding, customers can interrogate CO2 emissions on both supplier and category level to allow for a deeper analysis and in turn can make informed decisions about suppliers to support their sustainability strategy.
