Iasta SmartAnalytics

Iasta SmartAnalytics is powerful visibility & analysis software that provides insight into your company’s spend, at the most basic level, and provides the tools that will take that basic data and turn it into the wisdom necessary to make intelligent business decisions based on informed forecasts and pipeline metrics. We designed this tool specifically for sourcing professionals to consolidate and analyze their spend quickly and efficiently.

Data visibility is only the basis of what Iasta SmartAnalytics provides, because data in a silo is almost useless. Information is what we provide by cleansing & classifying spend and putting it in the same environment as other useful data, such as supplier enrichment feeds, supplier risk, price indexes, and even data from our Sourcing platform.

Knowledge is then provided by this BI tool, allowing users to drill into spend & sourcing data to make associate discoveries, and therefore make the right choices when determining a sourcing pipeline or other strategic initiative. Intelligence is what you get through these discoveries if we tie spend, sourcing and 3^rd party data all together in the same environment. And finally, Wisdom is how the intelligence allows you to take what’s contained in SmartAnlaytics and create a strategic action plan:

• Build a better pipeline
• Improve the sourcing process
• Improve load balancing
• Improve forecasting
• Define cost-savings targets

With Iasta SmartAnalytics, you now have the data necessary to do an "opportunity assessment," and you have a baseline against which to evaluate any spend management initiative. If you have no baseline, nobody knows whether you are succeeding or failing or, for that matter, where the best opportunities for spend reduction may lie.

Ultimately, intelligence and wisdom are what will create Procurement heroes and gain greater influence and spend under management for Procurement.
