McKinsey charges $500k for their Spend Analysis "Framework"
A complete visual framework that turns your $1.9B in spend into a clear action plan with tier-specific strategies for every supplier segment.
Stop Paying McKinsey $500K for Spend Analysis
Most procurement leaders know they need a spend analysis strategy. But building one from scratch takes months. Hiring consultants costs six figures. And the output is usually a PDF that collects dust. We built a framework that gives you the same results in minutes. Not just data. Not just numbers. A complete visual framework that turns your spend into a clear action plan.
The 3D View That Changes Everything
The framework starts by creating a three-dimensional view of your spend across three axes: category (what you're buying), suppliers (where you're buying it), and cost center (who's buying it).
This view alone surfaces strategic sourcing opportunities that most teams miss because they're stuck looking at flat spreadsheets.
From there, it breaks down your total spend across categories like IT/Telecom, Line of Business, Marketing, and Non-Proc, mapping both dollar volume and supplier count side by side. When you can see that Marketing has 1,350 suppliers managing just $223M while IT/Telecom has 1,200 suppliers managing $1B+, the optimization opportunities become obvious.
Three Tiers, Three Strategies
Not all spend is equal. The framework segments your suppliers into three tiers, each with its own playbook.
Strategic spend covers your top 5-10% of suppliers. The strategy here is proactive assessment and savings driven through strategic sourcing and innovation.
Tactical spend is your middle tier, where you drive value through contract expansion, supplier rationalization, and redirecting through preferred channels.
Long tail spend is the bottom 90% of your suppliers. This is where you find hidden savings through contract expansion, automation, and catalogs.
In the example framework, $248M in tail spend was identified from a $1.9B total. That is real money sitting on the table.
