Keep Direct Material Costs at the Price You Negotiated.

Direct Spend Assurance uses category-specific playbooks and connected commercial evidence to find, qualify, execute and verify direct material cost savings that reach COGS.

How Rivvun Delivers It

The System of Outcomes

  1. 01

    Detect

    Category playbooks normalize supplier, item, specification, unit, plant and landed cost, then separate market movement from noncompliance on every PO and invoice line.

  2. 02

    Enforce

    The pricing formula is enforced on every line. Index pass-through errors, surcharges above formula, missed volume tiers and substitutions billed at list are corrected or claimed, with the formula and index values attached.

  3. 03

    Prevent

    The allowed price is recomputed for every line on its transaction date, so variances are held before payment and corrective actions tracked to completion.

  4. 04

    Scale

    Playbooks extend across materials, plants and suppliers, and each action is verified in later POs, receipts and invoices before finance accepts the value.

What Finance Sees

Every outcome is recorded against the transaction and contract term behind it.

  • Price variance avoided, by material, supplier and plant
  • Market movement versus billing error in PPV
  • Identified, qualified, implemented and finance-accepted savings
  • Index pass-through accuracy
  • COGS impact by period
Rivvun Spend Steward cockpit: price dispersion across suppliers for comparable materials, contract control exposure by rule, and PO payment terms compared with contract terms.

Questions

What Is Direct Spend Assurance?

Rivvun’s agentic AI solution for finding, qualifying, executing and verifying direct material cost savings, connecting category economics, contracts, price files, POs, receipts, freight, invoices and credits.

How Is It Different from a PPV Dashboard?

A PPV dashboard shows movement against a standard. Rivvun normalizes the contract, index, spec, unit, plant and landed-cost basis, decides whether the variance is addressable, applies the category playbook, tracks execution and verifies the result.

How Does Index-Based Price Compliance Work?

Rivvun recalculates the expected price using the governing benchmark, formula, lag, FX basis, floor, cap, reset date and tier, compares it with the price file, PO and invoice, and routes the variance to correction, negotiation or recovery.

What Is Total Landed Cost Optimization?

Evaluating the complete cost of a material, not only unit price: indexation, freight, fuel, duties, fees, unit conversion, quality and yield. Rivvun uses that basis to find opportunities and verify implemented changes.

Can Rivvun Work with Messy Item Masters?

Yes. Supplier aliases, item identities, specs, pack sizes, units, plants and alternates are resolved with lineage and confidence. Conflicting records go to review rather than into a savings calculation.

How Do Procurement and Finance Verify Savings?

The value lifecycle stays explicit: identified, qualified, approved, committed, implemented and finance accepted, based on subsequent PO, receipt, invoice and payment evidence.
