Procurement Leakage. The Audits That Win.
Procurement leakage is a silent but significant threat to your bottom line, as unapproved spend and unauthorized vendors bypass official channels. DetectX transforms this risk by providing AI-driven solutions that enable real-time monitoring and proactive fraud prevention, ensuring every transaction is secure and compliant.
The Challenge: The Leaky P2P Process and Unapproved Spend
Traditional procurement and expense management systems often operate in silos, creating a critical blind spot for financial leakage. This disconnect allows for unapproved spend and unauthorized purchases to bypass official channels, leading to:
Uncontrolled P-Card Usage:
P-cards and corporate cards empower employees but lack the necessary controls to enforce P2P channel compliance, resulting in purchases from unapproved vendors and significant financial leakage.
Invisible Procurement Leakage:
Manual audits are reactive and focus on a small sample size, making it impossible to detect the pervasive, "low-and-slow" procurement leakage that erodes your budget.
Ineffective Policy Enforcement:
Without real-time monitoring, a company's procurement policy is often enforced retroactively, failing to address unapproved spend before it occurs.
How DetectX Works: Proactive AI-Driven Leakage Detection
DetectX provides a robust, integrated solution for procurement leakage detection, leveraging AI-driven analytics to identify and eliminate risk across the entire spend lifecycle.
Real-Time Monitoring & Alerts:
DetectX continuously monitors corporate card and P-card activity in real-time, flagging anomalous or non-allowable spend within 24 hours of a transaction. Our AI-powered solution sends alerts for immediate intervention, stopping unapproved spend before a claim is even submitted.
Full Story Audit & Contextual Intelligence:
We provide a Full Story Audit by integrating credit card data directly from providers. This is paired with Level III Data Verification, allowing our AI models to analyze granular line-item details to identify procurement leakage and unauthorized vendors, eliminating false positives and uncovering fraudulent schemes.
Behavioral Misuse Detection:
Our AI analyzes spending patterns over time to identify behavioral fraud, such as employees consistently avoiding the use of their P-card or using a T&E card for unapproved purchases to bypass controls. This is a crucial defense against subtle misuse that legacy systems miss.
Automated Policy Enforcement:
DetectX automates P2P channel compliance through configurable rules and an AI Audit Co-Pilot. It can automatically flag card misuse, identify transactions that circumvent your procurement channels, and ensure proper program adherence.
