Methodology

How We Calculate Your Procurement AI ROI

01
Invoice Processing: 65% Cost Reduction
AI invoice processing benchmarks consistently show 60–80% cost reduction per invoice through straight-through processing, automated 3-way matching, and exception handling. We apply a conservative 65% to your current per-invoice cost and invoice volume to estimate gross savings. Tools like Tipalti, Vic.ai, and Stampli typically achieve these rates within 6–9 months of go-live.
02
Sourcing Uplift: 2% Additional Savings Rate
AI-optimised sourcing — through better supplier discovery, spend classification accuracy (UNSPSC), and competitive e-auctions — typically adds 1.5–3% to existing savings rates on addressable spend. We model a conservative 2% uplift on your declared addressable spend percentage. This compounds with any existing savings programme your team runs.
03
Contract Efficiency: 45% Faster Cycle Times
AI contract management tools reduce the average cost to execute a contract by eliminating manual review time, accelerating redlining cycles, and automating obligation extraction. We model 45% reduction in your per-contract cost based on World Commerce and Contracting benchmarks for AI-assisted CLM deployments at mid-to-large enterprises.
04
Labour Re-Deployment: 20% FTE Capacity Release
Process automation across invoice handling, PO processing, supplier onboarding, and spend reporting typically frees 15–25% of procurement team capacity. We model 20% of your fully-loaded FTE cost as re-deployable value — not headcount reduction, but capacity available for higher-value strategic sourcing and supplier development activities.
