Join this PROACTIS seminar to learn about the different types of tail-spend, the typical challenges faced when tackling tail-spend and the strategies for extracting savings

Procurement and Finance spend a large proportion of time managing the big core areas of spend, and understandably so, as this is where the numbers are larger and savings are more quickly won - typically 80% of spend comes from 20% of suppliers (Pareto Principle). However, there's another 20% of spend - referred to as 'tail-end spend' - that can be addressed. By focusing on this spend, Procurement and Finance can deliver significant savings in terms of reduced unit prices and process improvements - both of which free up money and valuable resources.
