Every analysis starts with clean data
Every analysis is only as good as the data behind it. Supplier names spelt five different ways, missing or inconsistent categories and spend in several currencies make it hard to answer simple questions like 'what do we buy, and from whom?'
Cleaning it by hand takes weeks and has to be repeated every time new data arrives.
Spend Data Cleansing & Classification in DataKITE
Supplier normalisation
Duplicate and variant supplier names merged, and suppliers grouped under their parent companies.
Spend classification
Spend mapped to a multi-level category taxonomy, either a standard one or your own.
Comparable figures
Currencies converted and units of measure standardised so spend compares across entities.
Duplicate materials
Items bought under different codes identified, with single and multi-sourced items shown.
Transparent rules
See how each line was classified, suggest changes and keep a record of what changed.
