# Vendor Analytics

Understand where your money goes

Vendor Analytics transforms your transaction history into actionable insights about your business relationships. See exactly how much you're spending with each supplier, identify your top vendors, and track relationship timelines—all in one organized view.

## **What It Does**

Vendor Analytics automatically identifies every merchant and supplier from your financial documents and aggregates spending data across time periods and currencies. No manual categorization needed.

## **Key Features**

### **Alphabetical Organization**

Vendors are grouped alphabetically with sticky headers, making it easy to scroll and find specific suppliers. International vendor names are properly supported with Unicode-aware sorting.

### **Comprehensive Vendor Cards**

Each vendor displays:

-   **Total spending** across all transactions
    
-   **Document count** showing transaction frequency
    
-   **Transaction timeline** from first to last purchase
    
-   **Multi-currency indicator** when you've paid in different currencies
    
-   **Recent activity** showing when you last transacted
    

### **Smart Filtering**

Find exactly what you need:

-   **Search by name** to quickly locate specific vendors
    
-   **Filter by date range** to analyze spending in specific periods
    
-   **Filter by currency** to view vendors by payment currency
    
-   **Sort by spending, frequency, or recency** to identify top vendors
    

### **One-Click Document Access**

Click any vendor to instantly view all receipts and invoices from that supplier, filtered and ready for review.

## **How It Helps**

-   **Identify top spending relationships** to negotiate better terms or bulk discounts
    
-   **Discover duplicate vendors** when the same company appears under different names
    
-   **Analyze seasonal patterns** by filtering different date ranges
    
-   **Prepare for vendor reviews** with complete spending history at your fingertips
    
-   **Track vendor diversity** across multiple currencies and regions
    

## **Real-World Use Cases**

-   **Accountants**: Quickly generate vendor spending reports for clients
    
-   **Business owners**: Identify cost-saving opportunities by reviewing top vendors
    
-   **Finance teams**: Track vendor payment trends and relationship timelines
