According to a McKinsey report, organizations that leverage advanced analytics in procurement can achieve cost savings of up to 10-15%.

Data analysis should focus on identifying areas for improvement, assessing the effectiveness of procurement strategies, and ensuring compliance with ISO 20400 standards. Regularly reviewing and updating KPIs based on the analysis ensures they remain relevant and aligned with organizational goals. Additionally, benchmarking against industry standards and best practices can provide a comparative perspective and highlight areas where the organization can improve its procurement performance.
