Executive Briefing:
Data & Reporting: Transforming Procurement Data into Insights

June 18, 2026

2:00 – 3:15 PM EST

PRESENTERS:

(ex-Purchasing Supervisor NCTCoG)

Public procurement teams generate enormous amounts of data, but without a clear strategy, it remains siloed across disparate systems and fails to drive meaningful change. Join NIGP and SOVRA as we demystify the world of procurement analytics and explore how to build a data foundation that supports better decisions and stronger performance.

During the webinar, we will cover:

• What to collect: from core spend and contract data to supplier performance, and cycle time metrics.
• Which KPIs matter: cost savings vs. cost avoidance, on time renewal rates, cycle time reduction, competitive participation, and supplier risk
  indicators.
• How to report: developing dashboards that tell a story and linking procurement activities to strategic goals.
• Turning insight into action: using analytics to uncover hidden opportunities, enforce compliance, and justify policy changes.
