Last updated:

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method of executing a programmed spend management computer system. The computer system comprises a data pre-processor that is communicatively coupled to a plurality of the application instances and accesses historic transaction data from any of the instances and thereby has access to a large community of data across all tenants. The data pre-processor is programmed to normalize transaction descriptions and determine line spend values, unit price values, quantity values, and buyer country data for a plurality of commodities, and to store the data in item sets in digital storage. A statistical processor is coupled to the digital storage to access the item sets and executes statistical calculation on the item sets to generate pricing insight data. Pricing insights and/or prescriptions are generated automatically under stored program control and provided to a presentation processor for output to and/or rendering to an end-user device.
