Turn spend insights into a strategic competitive advantage

Spend Intelligence flips the old Pareto principle (80% data preparation, 20% insights)—all your spending is unified, classified, enriched—AI-ready and infused with benchmarks to support faster, smarter decisions.

Key benefits

Increase operational and cost efficiency

SAP’s data product architecture will eliminate data extraction, transformation, and loading, reducing operational costs and time to value.

Classified spend today, new possibilities tomorrow

Connecting classified spending with AI-ready business insights—going beyond just analytics—will help identify opportunities across cost, risk, productivity, and more.

Optimize spending with AI

Trusted, guided, and actionable insights create future outcomes for procurement, when they can be easily acted upon, whether part of the process or by agents on your behalf.

Key features

Spend analysis and insights

Advanced analytics and AI-driven recommendations will unify and enrich spending data from all sources, classify it using SAP Business AI, and deliver actionable insights.

Live insights for external workforce

External workforce insights will deliver real-time analytics on workforce spending, talent supply, diversity, sustainability, and performance benchmarks.

  • Spend analysis and insights provide ML-classified and enriched total spending visibility and AI-enabled insights into spending impacts and opportunity from spend overview to focused metrics for compliance, savings, risk, and more.

Spend Intelligence is prebuilt intelligent content specifically designed for procurement professionals, delivering AI-ready insights—not just analytics.

 

Distinct differences and innovations include being built on a data product architecture—eliminating the need for data extraction, transformation, and loading from SAP source systems and delivering faster time-to-insights and lower operational costs. Spend Intelligence unifies spending data from SAP and third-party source systems, using advanced AI/ML capabilities to classify and enrich it with market intelligence and SAP Ariba Procurement Benchmarking data, making it AI-ready and consumable across both your procurement function and the entire organization.

 

Although the commercial model is adjusted, there are some overlapping similarities in responses to the business challenges and the value proposition. Capabilities such as spend analysis and insights address the same business challenges as SAP Spend Control Tower by providing total spend visibility across the enterprise. Likewise, external workforce insights solves similar business challenges as the analytics add-on for SAP Fieldglass solutions while also bringing together data, AI, and our SAP applications. Powerful analytics and detailed dashboards provide accurate and dynamic spend oversight and insight into impactful opportunities, offering a sense of familiarity, but connected with SAP opens new innovations, from you to curated AI-generated recommendations and agents ready to execute on your behalf within next-gen SAP Ariba solutions.
