Spend Cube Analysis is a strategic procurement tool used to categorize and analyze an organization’s expenditure. It visualizes spend data across three dimensions: suppliers, commodities, and time. This analysis aids in identifying spending patterns, optimizing supplier relationships, and uncovering cost-saving opportunities by presenting data in a three-dimensional matrix or “cube”.
