Case study: Improving commodity coding and spend analysis

Overview

The Client:
This company is a leading federal services and IT contractor with a strong heritage of delivering world-class solutions and delivering advanced technology across a broad spectrum of domains.

The Challenge:
The company had a common data problem – duplicate
data – but had no idea precisely what data was duplicated.

The Solution:
With the intuitive Datafl ux interface, business users can drive the commodity coding process. The software looks at item descriptions and other details to fi nd a probable matching in the UNSPSC registry. A business analyst can check these matches and refi ne them over time. The technology saves the newly-created rules from the business user, allowing the company to train the software to the needs of the business.
