How do I see how much I am spending with each vendor or category in iDBQuery?
Ask iDBQuery how much you spend with each vendor or category and it aggregates every invoice and payment into a ranked, cited breakdown by supplier, category, department or period. You get a clear spend picture in seconds, without exporting from your accounting system.
Spend visibility is the foundation of procurement, budgeting and vendor negotiation, yet it usually lives scattered across accounts payable, expense tools and card statements. iDBQuery consolidates it on demand.
- It joins payables, expenses and purchase data into one live model
- It totals spend by vendor, category, cost centre, project or time period
- It ranks suppliers so you can see concentration and negotiating leverage
- Every figure is a cited answer traceable to the underlying transactions
Ask *how much did we spend with each supplier last year, ranked?* or *what did we spend on software subscriptions by month?* iDBQuery returns the breakdown instantly. Follow up with *which vendors did we pay more than 50k across multiple entities?* to spot fragmented spend you could consolidate for a discount.
Because iDBQuery reads your accounting data in place and joins across sources with no ETL, procurement teams get an always-current spend view instead of a quarterly export. Cited answers matter here too: when you go into a renewal or a supplier negotiation, you can point to the exact invoices behind your total spend, which strengthens your position and prevents disputes over the numbers.
