Invoice-Level Intelligence
Uncover billing variances, above-market rental rates, and contract leakage that summary reporting misses… in this engagement, the health system was significantly overpaying on cylinder rent.
Retrospective and Prospective
The vendor had not audited cylinders since 2007, and the health system was paying rent on cylinders that no longer existed. SpendMend recovered historical costs and established governance to prevent recurrence.
Contract Optimization
Restructured terms to include performance KPIs, required annual cylinder audits, and Loss of Use (LOU) allowance to address lost cylinders proactively.
Seamless, Low-Disruption Execution
Full analysis, negotiations, and implementation delivered using existing data and contracts with minimal lift from internal teams.
