What a Packseen review shows

The first page of every report records exactly what the findings rest on, so anyone in your team can judge the coverage before reading a single number.

• Documents received: 34 (18 invoices, 11 quotations, 5 specifications).
• Period covered: 12 months to the most recent invoice date.
• Packaging spend represented by these documents: £742,000.
• Currency: GBP only. No conversion is performed.
• Lines read: 268. Lines usable for comparison: 191. Lines excluded: 77 (reasons listed in block 05).

Prices as quoted are rarely comparable. Each line is converted to a single-unit basis at your real call-off volume, with document-level charges spread over the volume they were incurred for.

Where freight, dimensions or the pricing basis are not stated, they stay blank and the line is not normalised. Nothing is inferred to make a comparison possible.

You see the evidence, not the identity of anyone else’s suppliers. Your own suppliers are named to you and to nobody else.

Reference C is excluded from any saving figure. A partial match is informative only; it never becomes a headline number.

• Change required: move this carton to the confirmed-match specification at the same board grade.
• Effort: low. Same format, no line change, no re-tooling.
• Time to value: next order cycle.
• Assumptions stated: volume held flat, freight as printed, no change to order frequency.
• Risks noted: minimum order quantity rises from 6,000 to 8,000 units.

This block exists in every report, and buyers usually read it first. The 77 excluded lines above break down as follows.

• 31 lines: pricing basis could not be determined, so no unit cost was calculated.
• 22 lines: specification detail missing, so no like-for-like comparison was attempted.
• 14 lines: insufficient reference coverage for that specification.
• 7 lines: priced in a second currency. These are never converted and never compared.
• 3 lines: document unreadable; returned to you for a clearer copy.

A smaller number we can defend is more useful to you than a larger one we cannot. The refusal rules are set out in full in our Methodology.

• The baseline is locked at the price and volume evidenced before the change.
• You implement the change; Packseen contacts no supplier on your behalf.
• Post-change invoices are compared against the locked baseline.
• You confirm or challenge the result before it is recorded as verified.
• A verified saving can never exceed the spend it was measured on.

Verification is Packseen’s controlled workflow, confirmed by you against recorded evidence. It is not an independent third-party audit, and we do not describe it as one.

• You request a review first. If suitable, you upload the invoices, quotations or specifications you already have. No integration, no data-entry project.
• Your documents are read and normalised. You can see the extraction against each document.
• Comparable lines are compared; everything else is listed as refused with the reason.
• A Packseen reviewer checks each confirmed match before it reaches you as an opportunity.
• You receive potential opportunities with the evidence, effort and assumptions attached, and decide what to act on.
• If you implement a change, the saving is measured and only then recorded as verified.

There is no upfront cost and no obligation to act on anything. Pricing explains the commercial model, and Security & Data Protection is the page to share with your IT or procurement team first.
