Spendata
Spendata is an analysis platform for spend data and other business data. Its Intelligent Loader, automatic and manual mapping, and familying tools help prepare and categorize information before analysis. Users can create multidimensional views, link datasets, filter across linked data, and inspect or download the underlying transactions. The platform supports rule-based spend classification, supplier and category analysis, savings opportunity analysis, and automated data refresh. Dataset capacity varies: Classic covers datasets to 5M+ records, while Enterprise covers datasets to 15M+ records. Enterprise’s installed version includes an API for automating loading, filtering, extraction, reporting, and other functions. Spendata can export a star schema for direct import into Power BI and other BI tools. It runs on web, Linux, macOS, and Windows; the browser-based 30-day trial provides full access to Spendata Classic and requires no credit card. Spendata says processing occurs locally and data stays on the user’s machine. Pricing for Classic and Enterprise is available on request; both are billed annually.
