EZ Procurement Spend Analysis consolidates purchasing data to help procurement teams examine spending and identify possible savings. Its AI classifies transactions into a consistent category structure and updates classifications as suppliers and line items change. Supplier normalization links parent and child suppliers to show consolidated spend across divisions. Users can analyze by category, supplier, business unit, or time period, while the software flags fragmented spend, off-contract buying, and potential supplier consolidation ranked by savings potential. Teams can import data from ERP, accounts payable, and card systems without replacing those systems; listed inputs also include ERP exports, spreadsheets, CSV files, invoices, and invoice-level details. The vendor reports that 90%+ of transactions are auto-classified. Its described workflow connects and cleans data, surfaces opportunities, then routes them into sourcing events for tracking. Recommendations can be traced to underlying spend data, and the vendor describes security, access controls, and auditability as built in. The product is web-based. Pricing is on request; the product page directs prospective customers to book a demo or contact sales.
