Why the number holds up
01

Real prices paid,
not list prices

The benchmark comes from what other customers bought the same part for.

02

Exact part number match

The comparison is the same part, not a category average.

03

Several benchmarks,
not one number

You see where you stand against each.

AI explanation

416 parts loaded with $357.5M in annual spend. Every row carries a manufacturer part number, so each one can be matched exactly. SN74CBTLV1G125DCKR is your largest line at $140,498.55.

STEP 02

We match every part

Each part is lined up against the same part bought by other customers and sold in the market.

AI explanation

All 416 parts matched to at least one benchmark. The lowest one differs by part: an alternate for UMK105B7222KV-F, your own internal minimum for RK73B2ATTD201J, and the LevaData benchmark for SPM6530T-1R5M100.

AI explanation

329 parts are priced above benchmark, worth $10.1M in total. Start with AF0402FR-07100RL: it has the largest gap at 89.9% and the largest savings at $88,461.

STEP 05

Measure procurement performance

Average discount by part and by vendor shows which vendors you overpay and on which parts.

Vendor A carries the widest gap, averaging 57.2% above benchmark, while Vendor D is already 10% below. Internally managed parts hold 56% of the capturable savings.

STEP 06

Check sourcing health

Lead times and lifecycle status, weighted by spend, show where supply risk sits before you renegotiate.

You pay $0.00141 against a $0.00067 alternate benchmark, a 52.5% gap worth $15,983 over the next four quarters. The contract expires in August 2027 and three alternates are available, so this is a good part to renegotiate now.

Benchmark Variance Analysis, answered

What is Benchmark Variance Analysis?

Benchmark Variance Analysis compares the price you pay for each part with what the same part costs elsewhere, and measures the gap. LevaData matches every manufacturer part number in your spend to the prices other companies actually paid for it and to distributor prices, shows how far above or below those benchmarks you are, and turns the gaps into a ranked list of savings. The same gaps measure procurement performance: your average discount by part and by vendor, and the parts where you pay too much.

How do I know if I'm overpaying for a part?

Compare your price with what other buyers paid for the exact same part number. At or below the LevaData Benchmark is good. Between the benchmark and the distributors' lowest price is okay. Above the distributors' lowest price needs attention. LevaData shows this for every part in your spend.

Where do LevaData's benchmarks come from?

From real transactions: prices LevaData customers paid for the same part, and distributor prices. Prices are converted to US dollars with standardized commercial terms. Outdated prices, unit-of-measure errors and prices above distributor pricing are left out before a benchmark is calculated. The LevaData Benchmark is the median price customers paid.

How does LevaData match my parts to benchmarks?

By exact manufacturer part number. Each benchmark is the price of the same part, not an average for a category of parts.

Which benchmarks will I see for each part?

Several, not one number: the LevaData Benchmark, the distributors' lowest price, your own lowest internal price, and the price of alternate parts where they exist. LevaData shows which one is lowest for each part, so you know the target.

How do I measure procurement performance with benchmarks?

Use the gap to benchmark. LevaData shows your average discount against benchmark by part and by vendor, and lists the parts where you pay above it, so you can see which vendors you overpay and by how much.

What happens after LevaData finds a gap?

Each gap becomes an opportunity, ranked by savings. LevaData Zeta builds a negotiation plan, sends quote requests to suppliers, keeps every request and reply in one place, and sends the awarded price to the people who use it.
