The $4.7 Trillion Procurement Problem

Global enterprises lose 3-5% of annual procurement spend to fraud, contract leakage, and maverick spending. For a $1B company, that is $30M-$50M annually — most of it undetected.

3-5%
of total spend lost to procurement fraud
65%
of duplicate payments go undetected
$2.1M
average contract leakage per enterprise
23%
of spend is maverick (off-contract)

ProfitGuard eliminates this gap.

Our AI monitors 100% of SAP Ariba transactions in real time — not periodic samples — catching fraud, leakage, and waste that manual reviews and native Ariba controls miss entirely.
