ClassCOCKPIT Spend Analyzer

Transparency and efficiency in purchasing

The ClassCOCKPIT Spend Analyzer expands ClassCOCKPIT IT Solutions with an analysis module that gives purchasing organizations a completely new perspective on their spending. Many companies collect data, but lack a clear view of structures, cost drivers and hidden potential. This is exactly where the Spend Analyzer comes in: it brings together data from various sources, processes it intelligently and creates a reliable basis for decision-making. The module can be used in conjunction with both ClassCOCKPIT Classification and the ClassCOCKPIT Supplier Portal and, thanks to its modular architecture, integrates seamlessly into existing process landscapes.

Comprehensive expenditure analysis

Classification-independent evaluation

Integrated data quality dashboard (optional)

Central view of all purchasing data

Perhaps your are familiar with this situation: tenders are planned on the basis of Excel evaluations, estimates or outdated product group structures. Different data sources, fragmented information and a lack of transparency make it difficult to clearly bundle requirements and identify strategic potential.

The ClassCOCKPIT Spend Analyzer bundles order and invoice data from different systems, harmonizes it and reveals correlations – from product groups and supplier distribution to cost developments over time. This creates a clear basis for decision-making in purchasing, controlling and management.

Order vs. invoice at a glance
The Spend Analyzer compares order data with invoice data and makes deviations transparent: for example, price differences, unagreed surcharges or maverick buying outside of contracts.

Optimally manage tenders and procurement strategies

With Spend Analyzer, purchasing departments can design their tenders based on data rather than gut feeling. Instead of relying on incomplete structures or individual lists, you get a complete view of your spending situation:

Overview of product groups and cost distributions
Transparency regarding supplier structures and bundling potential
Basis for strategic framework agreements and targeted tenders
Better comparability of offers through uniform data views

The evaluations are classification-independent: Whether existing classification, internal product groups, or external standards – Spend Analyzer can be flexibly adapted to your structures and thus supports both tactical and strategic purchasing decisions.

Focus on category management
The ClassCOCKPIT Spend Analyzer provides category managers with a clear basis for merchandise group strategies: from volume per merchandise group to supplier bundling and price developments. In combination with our merchandise group management, measures can be planned in a structured manner and implemented sustainably.

Making data quality visible – for better decisions

In addition to classic cost and volume analyses, Spend Analyzer offers an optional data quality dashboard.
It shows at a glance where insufficient data quality is slowing down your purchasing decisions or making them more expensive.

Typical identifiable problem areas include:

Inconsistent or outdated product group structures
Duplicates in supplier or material master data
Incorrectly assigned or incomplete master data records
Poorly maintained procurement entries

This makes Spend Analyzer not only an analysis tool for costs, but also a control instrument for sustainable improvement of data quality in purchasing.

Flexible integration – Excel or ERP connection

The Spend Analyzer has been deliberately designed to be flexible so that you can connect it in exactly the way that suits your organization:

Excel import
Ideal for initial analyses, test scenarios or organizations where data is stored in a decentralized manner.
Direct ERP connection
For maximum automation and evaluations based on current realtime data.

The configuration is done once. After that , the evaluations run automatically in the background, without manual repetition. This provides the purchasing department with continuously updated and consistent analyses, with minimal maintenance effort on the part of IT.

More transparency instead of analysis chaos

Without professional analysis tools, purchasing often relies on isolated data islands, individual Excel lists and unclear cost drivers.
The Spend Analyzer closes these gaps and ensures structural transparency

It reveals:

where product groups are incomplete or incorrectly structured
which cost potentials remain untapped
where bundling opportunities exist
how supplier structures can be optimized and better managed

A confusing mountain of data is thus transformed into a clear basis for tactical and strategic decisions.

From insight to implementation: Spend Analyzer + Supplier Portal

The ClassCOCKPIT Spend Analyzer reveals hidden savings potential and areas for optimization in your purchasing data. Using the ClassCOCKPIT Supplier Portal, you can work with your suppliers to translate these insights into concrete measures—improving conditions, reducing costs, and giving your purchasing department additional room for maneuver.

Single sign-on and role-based permissions
