Category study
A focused reading of one buying family — fuel, medicines, construction materials, catering, IT hardware — instead of the whole ledger.
Procurement spend analysis · Kutaisi
Purchase ledgers hide more than they reveal.
Adapterroutepoint sits with finance and procurement desks in Georgia, reads a defined stretch of buying, and draws the categories, suppliers, and cost centres back so people can see the year they already paid for.
We do not install software. We sit with the records you already keep.
A spend review starts as a conversation about what the invoices already know.
What we actually open
A year of buying, read as a map rather than a stack of PDFs
Finance officers in Georgia already have the invoices. What they rarely have is a second reading: the same lines grouped by what was bought, from whom, and under which cost centre, so a conversation about next year’s budget can start from facts instead of recollection.
Invoices and purchase orders
Line-level buying for a named period, usually twelve or twenty-four months, including credit notes and cancellations.
Supplier registers
Legal names, duplicate spellings, and the handful of vendors that quietly take a third of the total.
Cost centres and contracts
Which department signed, which framework was used, and where buying slipped off-contract into “urgent” one-offs.
Flagship engagement
Full procurement spend review
A time-boxed reading of one organisation’s buying. You receive a spend map, a short findings note, and two briefings — not a software licence.
- Who it is for: finance directors, procurement officers, and municipal buyers who cannot see category totals across desks.
- What returns: classified spend, a visual map, supplier concentration, and questions the next budget should answer.
- Usual length: four to six weeks from a usable export, quoted from record volume.

One story, not a scoreboard
The map showed that three stationery vendors were the same company under slightly different names. That was not a scandal. It was simply a fact we had been too busy to notice.
