Overloaded October

Hi Everyone,

Here we are in November already, I can't quite believe where this year has gone! First up I have to say how proud I am to have finally launched Samification , I'm so proud of the team to have got this far, there's been a lot of blood, sweat and tears!

And now you can either visit www.samification.com or click on the link below to get a super quick demo of how the tool works. Have a watch and let me know what you think!

What is Samification?

It's a user-friendly tool to simplify supplier normalisation, standardisation, or harmonisation (whatever you call it!).? And it will do this quickly and easily, as in, within minutes!

What is Supplier Normalisation? Normalisation is the process of giving company names a common name or grouping. This is helpful for analytics and reporting, as it enables a “helicopter view” of your data. For example, in procurement it could show you how much your client or consumer is buying or how much you are selling to them. Normalisation is particularly useful for departments such as these, where differentiating between legal or financial entities is less important.

Normally this process can take anything from a day to months, so Samification will help accelerate this process.

Our tool is like no other; we use a mixture of technology, automation AND humans. You start by uploading a CSV file with supplier or company names to your personalised dashboard on the website. The power of technology collects this file and sends it to the Samification? data model, where it will be normalised. Your new normalised file will be returned to your dashboard within minutes.

How accurate is this?

We are in the early stages of development, so the normalised data you get back will be good, but not perfect. If your data contains a specific supplier combination we haven’t seen before, the model might not catch it the first time. That’s where our not-so-secret sauce comes in. The TCG team will be working in the background regularly, constantly cleaning and improving the master data. The next time you come back for a refresh, your data will be even better than the time before, or the time before that.

Why should you normalise your suppliers?

How much money are you leaving on the table because you don't know how many suppliers you have, the true spend by supplier, or even what you're paying for the same service in each region?

Supplier normalisation will help with that, and while it might take your team days, weeks, or even months to do this, Samification can give you something in 3 minutes. Sounds good, right??

Not only that, while the tool is still in development, we're offering 30% off using code LAUNCH30 until the end of the year while we improve the quality of the data.

Still not sure? Why not test 250 SUPPLIERS FOR FREE on us, we're confident in the tool and the quality of the data so why not give it a try?

Not for you? Not a problem, but please help a small business out by sharing with anyone who might benefit from this, for just $3000 you could have 5000 suppliers normalised in around 3 minutes...

WHATS BEEN GOING ON?

I had soooo much fun at SIG|ORG in Palm Springs last month, it was great to catch up with so many connections and make some great new ones. I ran two Dirty Spend Data Clinics and really enjoyed the discussions with the audience. The overall rating for both sessions was 4.52 out of 5 so I am so glad that everyone found the session useful.

TO UNSPSC OR NOT TO UNSPSC?

That is the question, there are good and bad points for each, I shared these in a post earlier this week, as it's something we often get asked about. I've shared a document about this that you can download, have a look and let me know what you think!

Don't forget...
