Maverick spend &
PO compliance cockpit.

Find where non-compliant spend is leaking, who owns it, what policy it violates, and what action should be taken — without weeks of spreadsheet stitching.

Procurement teams know non-compliant spend exists. The problem is the analysis. AP exports, PO and non-PO flags, supplier master issues, category mappings, and policy exceptions all sit in different files. Pulling them together is ad hoc, slow, and rarely repeatable. By the time the picture is clean, the moment to act has passed.

Four files, one workflow, one readout. The cockpit ingests AP spend, PO data, supplier master, and the procurement policy — then runs them through a repeatable sequence that ends with an exec-ready dashboard.

01
Load
Four inputs

AP spend, PO data, supplier master, and the procurement policy go in side by side.

02
Clean
Normalize

Supplier names get normalized. Spend gets mapped to categories using reusable logic.

03
Flag
Surface leaks

Non-PO spend, recurring offenders, and category leakage get flagged with the relevant transactions cited.

04
Interpret
Map to policy

Each finding gets compared against the actual policy document — not a summary of it — so violations are concrete and defensible.

05
Read out
Exec-ready dashboard

A dashboard drops, with actions sequenced by business unit and named owners.

The output

“Where spend is leaking, who owns it, what policy it violates, and what action should be taken.”

A dashboard the CFO can act on Monday morning — with findings cited to the source row and tied to the clause they violate.
