Smart Consolidation in 4 minutes

Tail Sourcing Product TeamLive product walkthroughJanuary 28, 2026Video • 4 min

Smart Consolidation is the feature that surprises new customers the most. It looks at incoming requisitions across teams, identifies overlapping demand, and recommends bundled negotiations before the POs go out. This 4-minute walkthrough shows the full flow from request to consolidated award.

The problem we're solving

In a typical mid-market company, the same office supplies vendor is being negotiated separately by three different teams in three different cities. Each team gets list price. Combined volume would unlock 18–24% off — but no one sees the combined volume.

How Smart Consolidation works

The platform watches requisitions in real time. When it detects overlapping categories, vendors, or specifications across requisitions in a 30-day window, it groups them and surfaces a 'consolidation opportunity' card to the procurement lead.

The lead can accept, modify, or dismiss. If accepted, the platform automatically launches an RFx to qualified suppliers with the combined volume and routes the awarded contract to all originating teams.

  • Real-time demand detection across teams and entities
  • Automatic grouping by category, vendor, and specification
  • One-click RFx launch with combined volume
  • Auto-routing of awarded contracts to all originating requesters

Typical results

Customers using Smart Consolidation report a 14–22% additional savings rate on consolidated categories vs. their previous baseline, and an 11x faster cycle from request to award.

Key Takeaways

What to remember

  • Most tail spend leakage comes from invisible duplicate demand
  • Real-time consolidation unlocks volume discounts that fragmented buying never sees
  • Customers report 14–22% additional savings on consolidated categories
