Industries/Construction & engineering/Spend Intelligence
Job spend leakage,by cost code and vendor.
Field purchases bypass master agreements while analysts sample spend by job in spreadsheets. Spend Intelligence classifies job spend, finds off-contract rental and materials vendors, and sizes consolidation opportunities project controls approve.
Scenarios in construction & engineering
Document-level examples buyers in this industry run through Spend Intelligence.
Off-contract rental spend
Multiple rental houses serve one job. Consolidation opportunity cites PO evidence.
Materials bought off MSA
Purchases duplicate subcontracted scopes. Redirect sizing ties to master agreement vendors.
Escalation exposure on steel contracts
Active subcontracts contain escalation clauses; spend ties classified materials spend.
What the agent checks
Core Spend Intelligence rules, phrased for construction & engineering procurement.
- Keyword map: concrete, steel, rental, electrical, mechanical
- Redirect to master vendors
- Off-contract where MSA exists
- Consolidation with three or more vendors
- Payment harmonization on top subs
- Escalation exposure on subs
How it works
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.
- 2
Classify unlabeled lines
Apply supplier category, description keyword maps, and confidence scores; Stellitron Intelligence reviews low-confidence rows.
- 3
Detect leakage
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.
Questions buyers ask
Can spend split by job?
Yes when job codes exist on lines.
Will spend move budgets?
No. It recommends; PMs approve transfers.
