The problem

Most procurement teams are running on spreadsheets and goodwill.

The enterprise suites cost more than the savings they promise and take a year to implement. So the work happens in email threads, shared drives and a purchase-order spreadsheet only one person really understands.

Without a system

  • Quotes compared on price alone, because nobody has time to model total cost
  • Approvals chased over email, with no record of who authorised what
  • Purchase orders retyped from a requisition, and mistyped
  • Invoices paid without anyone checking they match what arrived
  • Supplier problems remembered, not recorded — and forgotten at renewal
  • No answer to "what did we spend with them last year?"

With Spend

  • Total cost of ownership compared side by side, weighted against technical scores
  • Approval routed automatically by value, with a permanent audit trail
  • Purchase orders generated from the approved requisition — no retyping
  • Three-way matching across order, receipt and invoice before payment
  • Supplier quality scored formally each year and tracked over time
  • Spend and savings by category and supplier, exportable to Excel

How it works

One continuous cycle, not six disconnected tools.

Procurement is a sequence, and Spend follows it. Each stage hands the next one real data, so nothing gets rekeyed and nothing falls between systems.

01

Source

Issue an RFQ, RFP or tender as a branded PDF. Suppliers enter their own prices through a private link, or return a pricing sheet you import. Compare on total cost of ownership — freight, duty, install, maintenance over the asset's life — weighted against technical scores.

02

Challenge

Build a should-cost model from material, process and overhead before you negotiate, so you know what a part ought to cost rather than only what you have been quoted.

03

Approve

Requisitions route themselves through your delegation of authority by value, with sequential and parallel approval chains. The chain is frozen at submission, so changing the policy never rewrites history.

04

Order & receive

Approved requisitions become purchase orders with your letterhead and your terms. Record full or partial goods receipts against them as deliveries arrive.

05

Pay

Three-way matching checks the invoice against the order and the receipt before anything is approved for payment. Multi-currency throughout, with your own FX rates.

06

Measure & manage

Score suppliers formally each year against a scorecard you control — Red, Amber, Green or Platinum. Track spend, savings, contract expiries and supplier risk. Export any of it to Excel.

What's inside

The depth of an enterprise suite. None of the implementation.

Everything below is built and working today — not a roadmap.

Sourcing

TCO comparison

Compare quotes on lifetime cost, not headline price — one-time and recurring costs spread across the asset's life, weighted against technical scores you set.

Sourcing

Supplier quote portal

Each invited supplier gets a private, expiring link to enter their own prices. Nothing is retyped at your end, and no supplier sees another's numbers.

Cost engineering

Should-cost modelling

Break a part down into material, process time, machine rate, scrap and margin. Walk into a negotiation knowing what it should cost.

Governance

Delegation of authority

Value-banded approval tiers with sequential and parallel chains. Every decision recorded with who, when and why.

Quality

Supplier quality ratings

A weighted annual scorecard across quality, delivery, corrective action, systems, communication, HSE and improvement. One critical finding can force a Red on its own.

Risk

Risk & compliance register

Track supplier risk by category and severity, alongside ICV, IKTVA, EcoVadis and Achilles ratings, with expiry flagging.

Contracts

Contract analyser

Upload a contract and get red flags surfaced by category and severity — a triage aid that tells your legal review where to look first.

Control

Three-way matching

Order, receipt and invoice reconciled before payment, so nothing is paid for twice or paid for at all if it never arrived.

Insight

Spend & savings analytics

Spend by category and supplier, hard savings and cost avoidance tracked separately, budgets monitored — all exportable to formatted Excel.

Our approach

Your instance. Your data. Your name on the paperwork.

You run your own copy

Spend isn't a shared platform where your data sits beside a competitor's. Every business runs an independent instance with its own database and its own users. If something goes wrong somewhere, it goes wrong for one business — not everyone.

Documents carry your brand

Purchase orders, RFQs and tenders go out as PDFs with your logo, your letterhead and your terms and conditions — editable per document type, without touching code.

Set up in an afternoon

One service, one database. No integration project, no implementation partner, no twelve-month programme. Deploy it, create the first admin account, and start.

Configurable, not hard-coded

Approval thresholds, quality criteria and their weights, document wording, rating bands — the things that differ between businesses are settings, not assumptions baked into the software.

About us

Built by someone who had to do the job without the tools.

Spend started from a straightforward frustration: the software that runs procurement properly is priced for companies with a procurement department of fifty, and everyone else is left with spreadsheets.

It's built by a procurement practitioner rather than a software company — which is why it has total cost of ownership modelling and should-cost breakdowns and delegation of authority chains, and not much in the way of things nobody uses. Every feature exists because the work needed it.

We're based in the United Arab Emirates and completely independent — not a reseller, not a white-label of somebody else's platform, and not backed by a vendor whose interests point somewhere other than yours. Spend is built here.

It's early. Spend is working software, in use, and we're talking to businesses who want to run it. If that's you, we'd genuinely like to hear what you need it to do.
