Industries/Pharma & life sciences/Spend Intelligence
Trial and CMO spend,classified by project.
CRO and lab spend crosses functional budgets while analysts manually tie invoices to projects in spreadsheets. Spend Intelligence classifies spend by project and category, highlights off-contract lab vendors, and sizes consolidation opportunities with formulas QA and finance can audit.
Scenarios in pharma & life sciences
Document-level examples buyers in this industry run through Spend Intelligence.
CRO spend across protocols
Similar services post to different vendors. The agent classifies lines and proposes consolidation with project-level evidence.
Off-contract lab supplies
Card spend duplicates contracted catalog items. The agent flags leakage and sizes redirect to the preferred lab distributor.

Answer in plain language
Parse intent for totals, trends, top-N, and breakdowns; return narrative, table, and chart spec.
