Spend Anomaly Monitoring updates: More access, timely updates

For organisations managing purchasing across large, distributed teams, catching irregular spending activity and manually auditing spend to ensure compliance shouldn't depend on a single person. Spend Anomaly Monitoring, a Prime Business Enterprise exclusive, was built to take the manual burden out of spend oversight, monitoring an organisation's purchasing in real time and surfacing unusual activity before it becomes a compliance issue.

Today, we're announcing two updates that make Spend Anomaly Monitoring more accessible and more adaptable to how organisations actually operate.

What's new

1. Weekly digest emails

Spend Anomaly Monitoring now gives administrators the ability to opt in to weekly digest emails directly from within the dashboard. Each digest delivers a summary of current flagged anomalies. This gives teams a consistent, scheduled touchpoint for reviewing irregular purchasing activity without requiring daily log-ins.

This update puts administrators in control of their oversight cadence. Whether teams prefer to review anomalies in real time or consolidate that review into a weekly rhythm, they now have the flexibility to choose.

To opt in to these emails, visit your dashboard.

2. Expanded finance and group-level administrator access

Customers routinely report that spend oversight shouldn't be limited to top-level administrators. For organisations managing distributed purchasing across departments and business units, group and finance administrators are often the roles with the deepest context on what's normal (and what isn't) within their teams.

Previously, Spend Anomaly Monitoring was accessible only to account-level administrators. That created a bottleneck: anomalies flagged at the top of the organisation had to travel back down to the people who could resolve them quickly.

With this update, finance and group administrators now have direct access to Spend Anomaly Monitoring. For high-volume organisations managing distributed spend reviews, this means:

• Faster anomaly resolution: Administrators closest to the purchasing activity can act immediately, without routing through a central admin.

• Deeper contextual judgement: Group administrators who understand their department's purchasing patterns are better positioned to determine what's truly irregular.

• Greater distributed accountability: Compliance oversight scales with the organisation, rather than concentrating in a single role.

This is a meaningful step towards the "trust but verify" model that effective procurement teams depend on. It empowers the right people to act, while maintaining the organisational guardrails that keep spending in check.

Looking to extend to the right members of your team? There's no further action on your end, as these roles are immediately granted access.

Why it matters

Unapproved spending and purchasing irregularities remain among the most common compliance challenges for large organisations. These updates extend the value of Spend Anomaly Monitoring by making it more accessible, putting the right insights in the hands of the right people, on the right schedule.

More administrators with access means faster response times and better-informed decisions. Digest emails mean fewer gaps in awareness. These updates were designed to help organisations maintain greater control over purchasing without adding friction for buyers.
