How it works
SpendSure
Every supplier invoice challenged automatically before it is paid.
Stop overpaying vehicle maintenance suppliers, automatically.
- The problem: VMU invoices rarely get checked properly, so overcharges and unnecessary work get paid.
- The solution: every new invoice is checked live against your full history and contracts.
- It flags labour hikes, repeat jobs, recent inspections, status flips and insurance-recoverable items.
- Where a check fails, SpendSure challenges the supplier for you, before the invoice is paid.
- The value: 1% to 5% of annual vehicle spend recovered.
