THE CLIENT

A Texas-based oil and gas company with approximately $5 billion in annual revenue sought to improve visibility into procurement compliance, vendor pricing discipline, and purchase order governance across its operations.

THE FOUNDATION

The organization maintained procurement, vendor, purchase order, and invoice data across multiple operational systems. These records contained the information needed for pricing oversight and compliance monitoring but were not connected or readily accessible for analysis.

THE CONSTRAINT

Without a consolidated view, manual effort was required to reconcile vendor, PO (Procurement Order), and invoice records across systems. Pricing outliers, retroactive PO creation, and missing approval workflows went largely undetected, creating governance gaps and unchecked spend.

THE MULTIPLIER

Logic Pursuits centralized vendor, PO, and invoice data into a unified SQL environment, built automated stored procedures for cleansing and transformation, developed anomaly detection logic to surface pricing deviations and compliance exceptions, and integrated outputs into Tableau dashboards for monitoring.

WHAT CHANGED

Procurement teams gained continuous visibility into vendor pricing behavior, PO compliance, and approval of workflows. What had been a largely manual, reactive process became an analytics-driven framework capable of identifying exceptions at scale.

WHAT MULTIPLIED

Area Impact
Pricing governance
Vendor quotes up to 2-4x above standard pricing ranges identified and flagged
Compliance coverage
PO-after-invoice transactions and unauthorized purchases detected systematically
Audit readiness
Automated approval tracking and compliance reporting established
Spend control
Foundation laid for data-driven vendor negotiations and spend leakage reduction
