‘Tail spend’ refers to low-value, ad hoc purchases made by an organisation, often bought from lots of different suppliers. This spend goes largely under-managed, resulting in organisations not understanding what they are spending until purchases appear in their end of year accounts, causing significant budgetary pressures.

Our solution has been designed to ease this pressure by helping you get the best deals possible on millions of low value products for your school – from gym mats and tennis bats to drama equipment. It also helps you spend less time and money on invoicing, increase visibility and control of ‘hidden’ spend, and improve spend data.
