Business Problem Tail-spend is one of the biggest sources of incremental savings available. It requires leveraging spend volumes to unlock savings but requires process discipline to define a structured approach and accelerate decision-making, which most companies don’t have the time or resources to do. HAVI identified an opportunity to help one of our customers do just that.
