MARKET LENS · FOR PROCUREMENT

What's happening to my costs, and what should I do about it?

12-month price outlooks by category, worst-case cost in euros, and a scenario simulator your buyers can actually use.

A MONDAY MORNING IN PROCUREMENT

Four steps from price alert to budget meeting.

  1. Step A

    Open the category view

    The categories you buy, each with a monthly outlook and a band. You are not looking for a price; you are looking for where the band has moved since the last budget round.

  2. Step B

    Read the worst case in euros

    The Smart Buyer Calculator turns the top edge of the band into a cost figure for your volumes — the number the finance director will ask for.

  3. Step C

    Stage the shock

    Run the disruption you were asked about in the last steering meeting through the War Room. The budget delta and the hedge ticket come out the other side.

  4. Step D

    Send the briefing

    The Executive Cost Briefing goes to the people who sign the budget, in their language, with the ranges left in.

Budget to the top edge of the shocked band, not the median — the median is the likely story; the top edge is the one that breaks a budget.

WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH

Documents, not dashboards.

NOT A REPLACEMENT

Keep what already works.

Keep your terminal for news and execution, and your price reporting agency for contract benchmarks. Market Lens is the decision layer between a terminal and a spreadsheet.

HOW TO BUY

Two ways in.

Individuals can start self-serve from €200/month. The Procurement module is sales-assisted — email us and we will scope your categories together.

BEYOND COMMODITIES

When the question is bigger than a price.

When the exposure runs through logistics, infrastructure or regulation rather than a commodity price, that is a question for Enterprise 360 — the same engine, scoped around your board's question.

Market intelligence and analytics — not investment advice.
