Store-level leakage,redirects to national deals.
Facilities and IT buys happen on p-card with weak tie-back to national contracts for fixtures, bags, and labels. Spend Intelligence classifies store-level spend, finds off-contract vendors, and quantifies redirect potential to national agreements store operations and procurement approve before any PO blocks apply.
Scenarios in retail & e-commerce
Document-level examples buyers in this industry run through Spend Intelligence.
Off-contract fixtures by region
Card spend at local millwork vendors maps to a category with a national contract. The agent sizes redirect opportunity with site-level evidence.
Shadow IT next to contracted SaaS
Duplicate tools appear on card and invoice feeds. The agent highlights off-catalog SaaS and ties spend to renewal dates for rationalization.
Tail suppliers in store supplies
Many small vendors sell similar bags and labels. The agent proposes consolidation with documented formulas.
What the agent checks

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
