Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Purchasing Index (PI)?
Purchasing Index (PI) is the data analytics and benchmarking arm of the Comprara Group. It specialises in turning procurement data into actionable intelligence through advanced spend analytics, benchmarking, and visualisation. PI combines machine learning, big-data categorisation, and predictive modelling to give organisations real-time insight into spend, savings, and supplier performance.
Think of PI as the analytics engine that powers smarter, faster, and more confident procurement decisions.
- How does PI relate to Comprara?
PI is a sister company within the Comprara Group. Where Comprara focuses on advisory, transformation, and capability building, PI delivers the hard data and insight that makes those programs evidence-based. Together, they create a closed loop: PI provides the analytics, benchmarks, and opportunity insights; Comprara designs and implements the strategies that act on them.
In short, PI gives the facts, Comprara delivers the action.
- How can PI help identify maverick spend?
PI’s analytics platforms automatically classify and cleanse procurement data, making it easy to spot spend that falls outside approved suppliers, contracts, or categories. By comparing actual buying patterns against preferred arrangements, PI highlights:
- Off-contract leakage
- Non-compliant suppliers
- Rogue purchasing channels
- Variations in pricing vs. contracted terms
With PI, maverick spend becomes visible — and once visible, it can be eliminated or brought back under control.
- Can PI’s tools track realised vs. forecasted savings?
Yes. PI provides savings tracking dashboards that compare forecasted benefits (from sourcing strategies or category plans) with actual realised outcomes. This includes:
- Contracted vs. invoiced prices
- Baseline vs. current spend
- Cost avoidance vs. hard savings
- Finance-validated results
This ensures procurement can demonstrate not just potential value, but tangible, realised impact — closing the loop with Finance.
