Our story

Spend analytics for the teams the big suites forgot.

SpendAware exists because of a conversation we kept having, year after year, with the same frustrated people.

We've spent years talking to supply chain and procurement people. Different companies, different industries — but the same handful of things come up every single time.

“We have no budget to do spend analytics. We know we need it — we just don't have the budget.”
“IT is too busy. They say they can build it themselves, but they never have the time.”
“So we end up working off spreadsheets, trying to share them around the team. It's hard.”
“We know we should understand our spend better. We just can't get there from here.”

If those sound familiar, you're not alone. We heard them so often they stopped sounding like complaints and started sounding like a gap in the market. The enterprise suites can do all of this — for six figures and a six-month implementation. The spreadsheets are free, if your time is worth nothing. And for everyone in the middle, there was nothing that actually fit.

We wanted something different — something a company could pick up and get product into their hands quickly, without a budget fight, an IT ticket, or a consultant.

That's what SpendAware is about. You export two files you already have. The AI classifies every vendor, dedupes the same supplier hiding under five different names, and enriches your data with industry, category, and context your ERP never carried. In minutes, you can finally answer the questions you've been working around for years — and you did it yourself.

What we believe

Clarity shouldn't require a consultant. The answer to “what do we actually spend, and with whom” should take minutes, not a statement of work.

You should see the price before you buy. No “book a demo to find out.” Our pricing is on the site, with a calculator, because hiding it never served the buyer.

Honest beats impressive. We won't promise you a magic classification number no vendor master could ever hit. We show you what's there, what's missing, and we let you review every call.

SpendAware is a MakoInsight product, built by people who've sat on your side of the table.
