In many large organisations, spend is everywhere and nowhere at once. A university has multiple ERPs and grant systems; a hospital has local ordering habits; a government agency has panels plus ad-hoc buys. People do the right thing in their silo, but the enterprise view is foggy. The results are familiar: duplicate suppliers, different prices for the same item, contract leakage, and risk hiding in the tail. When leaders ask “What are we really spending, with whom, and why?”
