The procurement problem

Your suppliers have a cleaner view of your spend than you do.

The same supplier exists under twelve different names

Each ERP created its own vendor record. "ACME Corp," "Acme Corporation," "ACME CORP INC." are all the same supplier. You're managing twelve relationships that are actually one, and you have no idea what you're paying in total.

Price increases hidden inside the AP queue

PPV isn't reported until month-end, if at all. By the time purchasing knows prices drifted, thousands of invoices have already processed at the wrong rate. The supplier knew. Your team found out in a reconciliation meeting.

Negotiated terms that nobody actually follows

Your contracts say 30-day net. Your actual days-to-pay average 14. You're funding your suppliers' working capital at zero return. Early payment discounts are being left uncaptured. Your payment behavior is perfectly predictable to anyone watching the data.

Enrich Supplier

One clean supplier record. Across every ERP and every site.

Before you can analyze spend, you need clean data. Procurement IQ starts with your raw ERP supplier records, groups duplicates across every site and system, and enriches the unified record with third-party attributes.

The result is a single golden record for each supplier that carries the spend history from every ERP, the contract terms from every site, and the attributes your team needs to evaluate performance, compliance, and risk.

What gets added at enrichment
UNSPSC commodity codes, industry-standard classification for every supplier relationship
Industry, country, and company size, from third-party data sources, not manual entry
Parent / subsidiary structure, so consolidated spend rolls up correctly
ERP site presence, every location and system the supplier appears in, unified

Enrich Item

A shared part language across the entire business.

When each site names parts differently, you can't identify like-items across divisions, measure substitution risk, or negotiate with suppliers on consolidated volume. Enrich Item gives every part a common taxonomy.

Mapped to UNSPSC commodity codes, your item master becomes a strategic tool. Buyers can see what the same part costs at different sites, identify preferred vendors by category, and negotiate with accurate volume data across the portfolio.

For PE operating partners managing a family of businesses, item taxonomy is the foundation for rationalizing supplier lists, consolidating purchases, and capturing the category spend that no single ERP can see on its own.

Purchase Price Variance

See every dollar paid above or below what you negotiated.

PPV measures the difference between the price on your purchase order and the price on the invoice. Procurement IQ calculates it at the line level, then rolls it up by buyer, supplier, item, and category. Unfavorable variances are visible the moment invoices process, not 30 days later.

When a supplier ships at a price that wasn't agreed, purchasing knows immediately. The exception surfaces in the Daily Pulse and feeds into the supplier scorecard. Over time, the trend line tells you which supplier relationships need a direct conversation.

Terms Rationalization

Track every term you negotiated. See every one that's drifting.

Payment terms are a cash flow lever most procurement teams leave on the table. Procurement IQ tracks actual days-to-pay against negotiated terms for every supplier and flags the gaps before they compound.

Paying early erodes your cash position. Paying late damages supplier relationships and invites fees or pricing retaliation. The right answer is precision: pay on terms, not ahead of them, and capture every early payment discount that actually makes economic sense.

Procurement IQ also tracks on-time delivery against PO due dates, PO acknowledgment rates, and invoice compliance. The complete supplier scorecard is one click from the supplier record.

Built on the Marquis IQ Platform

Procurement IQ is an add-on module. It runs on top of your existing Marquis IQ subscription, sharing the same ERP connections, supplier master data, and item records already in the system.

Pricing IQ, cost and margin on the same platform

Pricing IQ shows where margin is won or lost on the sell side. Procurement IQ shows the cost side. Together they give finance and operations a complete view of gross margin: what you're charging, what you're paying, and where the gap is moving.

Inventory IQ, supplier performance into inventory outcomes

Supplier lead time performance and on-time delivery data from Procurement IQ feeds directly into Inventory IQ's safety stock and replenishment signals. Consistently late suppliers trigger the appropriate buffer adjustments automatically.

Daily Pulse, exceptions surface before they compound

Every unfavorable PPV spike, terms breach, and supplier compliance flag flows into the Daily Pulse. Buyers start each day knowing exactly where action is needed, without running a single report or building a single query.
