Industries/Automotive/Spend Intelligence
Program spend leakage,fasteners and logistics.
Indirect program buys leak off contract while commodity indexes lag in AP. Spend Intelligence classifies spend by program and category, highlights off-contract purchases where MSAs exist, and sizes consolidation and redirect opportunities purchasing can audit.

Same pipeline as the live Spend Intelligence module.
- 1
Ingest 12 months of spend
Load departmental spend with channels, suppliers, categories, and on-contract flags from your procurement record.

Classify unlabeled lines
Apply supplier category, description keyword maps, and confidence scores; Stellitron Intelligence reviews low-confidence rows.
- 3

Find tail suppliers, off-contract buys where a contracted catalog item exists, and consolidation candidates in crowded categories.
- 4
Size opportunities
Estimate redirect, harmonization, and escalation exposure with formulas you can audit in the trace.
- 5
Answer in plain language
Parse intent for totals, trends, top-N, and breakdowns; return narrative, table, and chart spec.
