How DetectX Addresses Procurement Leakage
DetectX provides a robust solution that identifies instances of procurement leakage before they become costly issues. By leveraging advanced analytics and real-time monitoring, our platform ensures that every expense is scrutinized against your organization’s procurement guidelines.

Key Features:

Automated Detection of
Non-Compliant Transactions:
DetectX continuously analyzes expense submissions to identify transactions that should have been processed through procurement channels. For example, if an employee uses a company card to pay for a consultant and then submits it as an expense report, our system flags this instance and suggests it should have been contracted through the procurement department.
Guidance on Correct Procurement Processes:
When potential procurement leakage is identified, DetectX provides recommendations on how to properly route expenses through the appropriate procurement procedures. This not only helps in compliance but also enhances operational efficiency.
Centralized Procurement Tracking:
Our platform allows organizations to centralize their procurement processes, making it easier to manage contracts and vendor relationships. By tracking all spending through a unified system, businesses can gain better visibility into their expenditures and negotiate more favorable terms with suppliers.
Reporting and Analytics:
DetectX offers comprehensive reporting features that highlight instances of procurement leakage over time. These insights empower organizations to refine their procurement strategies and implement necessary changes to prevent future occurrences.
