16. Our Implementation Continued
• Consulted with a Network of Vulcan
Subject Matter Experts in the Field
– Determine what is important to be classified
– Determine what can be classified
– Determine what changes we can make to
aid in classification in the future
17. Our Implementation Continued
• Working with SciQuest
– Effective Project Management - Deliverables
and timeline were clearly defined and
delivered upon
– Good Product Knowledge - Initial
Classification was highly accurate
– Resource Availability
• The SciQuest team was available to answer our
questions whenever we needed them
• Specialized reporting requests were
implemented as needed
18. Our Implementation Continued
• Data Preparation
– Level 3 Procurement Card Data Enrichment
• Bank provides a file
• Many vendors provide poor data
• Match good data to the corresponding purchase
– Summarization of Standardized Purchases -
Haulers
– Integration of Additional Data Fields
• Expense Reports
– Expense Justification
– Employee Name as Supplier
19. Our Implementation Continued
• Consolidated Our Data Uploads to 3
Files
– Haulers
– PCard
– Other Transactions
• Classification
– Initial Classification to 95% - 5 weeks
– Additional Classification to 98% (as of
January 2015) by Vulcan personnel
21. Our Implementation Continued
If the user clicks on a category, a filter is applied. This “drill-down” functionality is fast and powerful, and it applies
the filter to all charts and data in the tool. Here, we clicked “Equipment”. Now notice the Spend by Classification
chart. Parts, Mobile Equipment, Fixed Equipment, etc are all level 2 categories of Equipment. Now only the top
suppliers of our “Equipment” category are now listed at the top right.
22. Our Implementation Continued
We can continue to drill deeper into the spend categories. In this case, we clicked “Parts”. Notice the data has now
drilled down to the different categories of Parts (e.g. Loader Parts, Crusher Parts, etc). And, now we see that our
top suppliers for the “Parts” category are listed at the top right. Note: all charts and tables have drill down
functionality.
