The Client

Purfaction delivers fully-serviced spend analysis and actionable purchasing dashboards to Dutch municipalities, (semi-)government agencies, healthcare institutions, educational organizations, and housing corporations. With over 25 years of experience and more than 400 professional spend analyses, Purfaction is the specialist for the Dutch public and non-profit sector. Purfaction is ISO 27001 certified, ensuring the highest standards in information security and legal compliance.

The Challenge

Dutch municipalities and public organizations struggle to manage procurement efficiently and transparently. Management lacks a clear, real-time overview of spending and the tools needed to drive progress on sustainability, local purchasing, and cost savings. Financial controllers and departments lack sufficient insight into spend and contract compliance, while procurement teams are hampered by manual processes and a lack of data-driven support. Strict legal compliance and transparency are difficult to guarantee, and the pressure for cost savings, especially ahead of the ‘ravijnjaar’ in 2026, is mounting. Organizations are eager to improve, but lack the right tools and insights to do so effectively.

The Solution

Purfaction leverages icCube’s powerful analytics software to integrate spend analysis and contract insights into a single, intuitive platform. The solution stands out due to its:

  • Comprehensive spend analysis: Collects, cleanses, classifies, and analyzes spend data from multiple sources, providing real-time insights into purchasing patterns, supplier performance, and cost-saving opportunities.
  • Insight into contracts and their relationship with spend: Links contract data directly to spend, enabling organizations to see what is spent under which contracts, identify unauthorized purchases, and monitor contract performance in relation to actual spend.
  • Tailored procurement dashboards: Offers specialized dashboards for procurement, including Pareto analysis, Kraljic Matrix, legality analysis, and MVOI (CSR & sustainable procurement) insights. Designed for every organizational level, from board members and finance to department heads and procurement managers, these dashboards allow users to drill down from high-level overviews to detailed transaction data, empowering each layer to drive and achieve procurement goals.
  • Customizable dashboards: Adapts to each organization’s terminology, branding, and local regulations, ensuring seamless adoption and relevance for all users.
  • Proactive management support: Automated alerts for contract deadlines, overspending, and compliance risks empower management to make timely, informed decisions.
  • Highly secure solution: Purfaction is ISO 27001 certified and maintains a strong focus on confidentiality and data security. The platform is designed to safeguard sensitive procurement and contract data, ensuring trust and compliance at every level.

While Purfaction primarily serves the Dutch market, its flexible design and adaptability to local regulations and languages make the solution suitable for organizations in other European countries as well.
