How the procurement savings calculator works

The calculator combines two proven sources of procurement savings. The first is negotiated savings: when you consolidate a fragmented supplier base and buy on-contract through a single marketplace, organisations typically capture 7–12% on price. The second is process savings: digitising manual, paper-and-email purchasing reduces processing effort by 40–60%, which directly lowers the administrative cost of every purchase order.

It multiplies your annual spend by the negotiated savings rate, and your annual purchase-order volume and processing cost by the effort-reduction rate, then adds the two together for an estimated annual saving. The figures are directional — a starting point for a business case, not a guarantee.

Common questions

How does the procurement savings calculator work?

It applies well-established procurement benchmarks to your inputs. Consolidating a fragmented supplier base and buying on-contract through a single marketplace typically delivers 7–12% negotiated savings, while digitising manual purchasing cuts processing effort by 40–60%. The calculator combines both to estimate an annual savings range.

Are the savings estimates guaranteed?

No. The figures are directional estimates based on typical outcomes from consolidating indirect and long-tail spend. Actual results depend on your categories, current supplier base and process maturity. Request a tailored breakdown for numbers specific to your organisation.

What counts as procurement or indirect spend?

Use your annual spend on goods and services outside strategic sourcing — office supplies, MRO, facilities, IT peripherals, consumables and similar categories. This indirect, high-frequency spend is where consolidation and automation deliver the most.

Is the calculator free to use?
