Procurement departments can’t control the global supply chain disruptions or rising inflation that cause higher supplier prices. Celonis challenges Procurement organizations to focus on what they can control in this time of uncertainty - with the Inflation Monitor.

The Celonis Inflation Monitor consolidates Procurement data from your existing business systems, giving you a unique view of how price variances are affecting your overall spend and surfacing tangible cost saving opportunities.

Insights into spend have never been more valuable as enterprises work to control spend, reduce operating costs and improve supplier reliability.

This purpose-built solution helps Procurement managers understand how today’s volatility affects their spend and enables them to proactively identify process inefficiencies that are threatening their grasp on spend in three steps:

1. Investigates Price Variances: Uncover price increases for each purchased material and investigate the specific materials that are negatively impacting your spend. With the Inflation Monitor, Procurement staff can examine price trends compared to order frequency over time. Having this information will allow them to see the full magnitude of contract leakage amidst price increases and understand which suppliers and contracts have been leveraged across custom dimensions.

2. Identifies Spend Optimization Opportunities: The Inflation Monitor identifies opportunities that are within the Procurement organization’s control. Take action to eliminate inefficiencies in contract usage such as frequently purchased materials without contracts, multiple suppliers for similar materials, or purchasing materials without a contract referenced.
