01The challenge

Supplier Reporting Held Together by Spreadsheets and Email

IMTFA relied on manual supplier reporting through Excel and email. Data arrived in different formats, at different times, and needed to be checked and combined by hand.

The result was inconsistent data, delays in reporting and limited visibility of spend across suppliers.

02What we did

An Automated Spend Analysis Platform

We built an automated spend analysis platform that brings supplier data together in one place, processes it consistently and turns it into reporting the team can trust.

  • Built the data platform on Microsoft Azure and SQL
  • Automated the workflows that collect and process supplier data
  • Delivered interactive Power BI reporting for clear visibility of spend
