Spend by vessel, category, supplier and port

Because Tidal structures every line, spend rolls up cleanly: provisions versus stores versus spares, by vessel, by port, by supplier. See where the money goes across the fleet without exporting spreadsheets from a legacy ERP and stitching them together by hand.

Budget versus actual, live

Set budgets per vessel or category and Tidal tracks committed and actual spend against them in real time, flagging overspend as orders are raised rather than at month end. Buyers see the budget on the line while they quote, so decisions happen with the number in view.

Frequently asked questions

What is marine spend analytics?

Marine spend analytics is the analysis of procurement spend across a fleet or supply business: by vessel, category, supplier and port, against budget. Tidal produces it automatically because it structures every RFQ, quote and order as data.

Can Tidal track budget versus actual per vessel?

Yes. You set budgets per vessel or category and Tidal tracks committed and actual spend against them live, flagging overspend as orders are raised rather than after the fact.

Do we need a separate BI tool?

No. Spend views are built in because the underlying quote and order data is already structured. You can also export to your own BI or finance system by API or CSV.

How does this help margins?

Tidal surfaces price drift, off-catalogue buying and consistently expensive suppliers, turning raw spend into concrete savings and protecting margin on future quotes.
