Cost Analytics Group are a Santander Growth Partner. Our business is based around three key areas: Analyse: Analysing 3rd party supplier contractual and financial data Recover: Identification and Recovery of historical over-payments from billing and contractual errors. Optimise: Through data management and the intelligence of spend analytics we optimise profitability and performance. No system is 100% error free. Because no system or individual operating within a procure-to-payment cycle can be 100% error free, the opportunity to over-ride controls exists in every ERP and finance system. Communication between suppliers, procurement and accounts payable is effective but cannot be error free. Whilst systems are designed for the efficiency of payment, any environment with large volumes of transactions will inevitably have a small percentage of error, these can add up to significant amounts and represents lost profit.
