Sourcing Force + Buy Made Easy
Quantify the work around orders.
Supplier count alone does not measure effort: order volume and processing time also matter.
The simulator helps examine the effect of centralising one-off purchases in Sourcing Force.
The scenario can include Buy Made Easy as the single supplier to compare internal processing costs with outsourced procurement.

Assumptions and formula
Annual savings = 0.03 × class C spend + €300 × supplier creations + €58 × spot transactions.
The three coefficients are the simulator’s fixed assumptions. The result is a gross estimate before software, service and deployment costs. Check that the selected savings do not overlap; this calculation is neither a client result nor a return on investment rate.
