Behind the Curtain: Building a 2-Minute Spend Audit
Why We Built It
Across hundreds of facility reviews, we’ve seen operators lose 5–15% of indirect spend to duplicate POs, rush freight, and invoice mismatches.
Most teams don’t know the leak exists—until they see the numbers.
What the Calculator Needs
Just two inputs:
• Monthly indirect spend — pull from your AP ledger or marketplace export. Filter for packaging, supplies, uniforms, office items.
• Site count — number of cultivation, processing, or dispensary locations. If a license covers multiple buildings, count each one.
The calculator uses conservative benchmarks to give you a real-world estimate of how much spend is leaking every month.
Why It’s Ungated
You don’t need to trade an email to see your own data.
Run the calculator as often as you want, screenshot your result, and share it internally.
If the leak is smaller than 5× our Growth-tier fee, we’ll be the first to say: stick with what you have.
Turn Insight Into Action
- Run the calculator → mainstem.io/roi
- Screenshot your leak estimate
- Share it with Finance and ask:
- “Worth a 15-minute demo to plug this?”
Stop guessing. Start measuring.
Then decide if closing the leak is worth a call.
