Drive smarter decisions with spend analytics software

Effective spend management begins with visibility - you can't manage what you can't see. Blindly cutting random costs can impact operational efficiency if you're not reducing the right costs. By automating your purchasing and expense reporting processes, you gain visibility into historic spending activities that can be analyzed to shape and influence the decisions you make in the future.

Fraxion provides community insights to help benchmark your organization vs peers in the midmarket, giving added relevance to the information displayed and identifying opportunities to improve, compared to the average and top 10% of all our customers. 

Fraxion's spend analytics software makes it easy for finance and procurement managers to analyze spend and glean meaningful insights from their business' buying behavior. With this in-depth oversight, you're better equipped to proactively reduce discretionary and non-essential expenditure, eliminate waste, and improve efficiency, compliance, and your saving potential.
