Do you think your indirect spend is managed?
Here's what's actually happening.

01

Your framework looks managed…

…but then your supplier quietly added thousands of articles for which you never agreed on a price.

Same catalogue. Same contract. Never benchmarked

02

Your tail feels contained…

…but then the same items get bought from the same suppliers, month after month.

No contract. No negotiation. No one watching.

Two blind spots. One quiet assumption: that someone, somewhere, is comparing your prices to the market. Nobody is.

You can't fix what you can't see.
Unite makes the invisible visible.

We benchmarked real customer catalogues against the open marketplace. Here's what we found.

Even a "managed" framework typically hides a measurable, recurring gap.
Unite surfaces this gap automatically, on every order.  

You’ve been qualifying demand at the catalogue level.
Unite defines it at the article level, and that changes everything.

Indirect spend has two blind spots. Every framework catalogue contains two realities: a handful of negotiated prices and thousands of articles that were never touched. They sit side by side, in the same catalogue, under the same contract. And the tail has its own version of the same problem: recurring demand hiding among the genuine one-off buys, behaving like an unmanaged contract that nobody is watching.

Treating them the same is where the money quietly leaks out. 

01

Negotiated articles, protected.
The prices you fought for stay exactly where you put them, hosted and governed by Unite, untouched.

02

Non-negotiated articles, challenged.
They sit in the same catalogue, under the same framework, but no one ever benchmarked them. Unite’s Spotmarket does, automatically and in flow. Alternatives surface, gaps get quantified, and the evidence lands on your desk.

03

Fragmented tail, consolidated.
Unite separates recurring demand from genuine one-off buys, identifies bundling opportunities and brings the hidden core under control, without changing how your buyers work.
