Preferred-Supplier Enforcement

Risk & compliance
Primary · Procurement
Secondary · Finance

Preferred-supplier programs leak the savings you already negotiated. A requester picks a familiar tool, skips the negotiated option, and the discount goes unused.

Flo reads each request against your preferred-supplier catalog, catches off-catalog choices, and surfaces the preferred supplier with the negotiated terms and the saving at stake. It routes the request for a decision and measures how much eligible spend reaches the preferred supplier.

Flo flags and recommends. Procurement decides. The negotiated rates get used instead of sitting in a catalog nobody checks, and contract value realization becomes a number you can report. Genuine exceptions route for approval, not a hard stop.
