Services Data Update

Get control of what you spend on contractors and services.

Services are often the biggest share of spend and the hardest to track. We collect current rates from your providers, set up clear service categories, and load them into SAP as pricing agreements, so services can be bought and reported like parts.

WHO IT'S FOR

Operations where contractor and services spend is large, hard to report and mostly bought on free-text orders.

Sound familiar?

Contractor rates are agreed by email and paid from free-text orders.

Services spend can't be reported by category or provider.

There's no clear preferred provider for common work.

How it works

1

Diagnose

We find the gaps in your services data and nominate the providers to update.

2

Collect

Rate categories go to your providers, and alternatives, to collect current rates.

3

Agree the strategy

We agree preferred providers, rates and how future services are classified.

4

Load

Rates are loaded into SAP as pricing agreements using our prebuilt load tools.

5

Train and report

Your team is trained on the new process, with reporting to track and reduce services spend.

Common questions

Do you negotiate rates for us?+

No. Rate negotiation isn't included. We collect and structure current rates so your team can negotiate from a clear picture.

How is this different from a Commercial Data Update?+

It's the same approach applied to services: rates and categories instead of part prices and lead times.

How long does it take?+

About two months.
