This interactive Power BI report explores the Procurement dataset using ZoomCharts Drill Down custom visuals and native Power BI visuals. It analyzes purchase order activity from 2022 to 2024, highlighting procurement spend, supplier performance, budget versus actuals, savings, delivery timelines, supplier risk, and maverick spend across categories, departments, regions, and suppliers.

The report helps users identify spending trends, compare supplier performance, monitor compliance, evaluate budget pressure, and uncover opportunities to improve procurement efficiency, reduce risk, and support better purchasing decisions.

The report was submitted to the FP20 Analytics ZoomCharts Data Challenge 37 (April-May 2026).

Author’s Description:

This report analyzes organizational procurement activity to uncover spending patterns, supplier performance, operational inefficiencies, and compliance risks across the procurement lifecycle. The dashboard explores how procurement spend is distributed across departments, categories, suppliers, and contract types while evaluating supplier reliability through delivery performance, lead times, invoice controls, risk exposure, and ESG indicators.

Key insights reveal a significant reliance on non-preferred suppliers and spot contracts, concentrated maverick spend among a small group of suppliers and departments, and a strong relationship between weak invoice controls and increased procurement non-compliance.

Interactive drill-down analysis, supplier drillthrough pages, custom tooltips, and cross-filtering capabilities allow users to investigate procurement behavior from high-level spend trends down to detailed supplier and process-level insights.
