There is only one limit to the analysis options: the available data. Depending on the objective and data depth, the tool can also be individually adapted. But even the standard version can answer purchasing-related questions such as
- What is being purchased?
- From which suppliers and in what weighting?
- At what prices?
- When? Who? How often?
- Are the data constant over the observation period or are there outliers?
The filter criteria can be defined as required (depending on the basic data). In the standard system, six areas provide a quick overview. In the first area, various filter criteria such as the location (company code), suppliers, delivery points or customers can be selected. The period to be analyzed can be defined in area 2, below which (3) there is an overview of the most important KPIs (depending on the desired definition). In the fourth area, the top 10 suppliers by turnover are displayed in the example using an area chart. The multidimensional combination chart below (5) provides an overview of sales and the number of orders by month and supplier. In the last row (6), a pivot display with further details can be opened by clicking.
