The 9.2% Leak: Stop Financing Your Suppliers' Growth
Your business is losing 9.2% of its revenue to commercial negligence. Here is how to plug the hole.
The cost of administrative friction is no longer a rounding error. World Commerce & Contracting data for 2026 confirms that the average business loses 9.2% of its annual revenue through poor contract management. If your turnover is £100m, you are handing £9.2m to your suppliers for free.
This is not a legal problem: it is an operational failure. Most organisations treat contracts as static documents to be filed and forgotten. A Lead Auditor grade executive sees them as living obligation registers. When obligations are not tracked, they are not met. When they are not met, value leaks.
Stop accepting "best efforts" from your procurement team. You need a digital obligation matrix that flags missed milestones before they impact the bottom line. ROI starts with visibility.
We see the same pattern everywhere: missing price escalations, unapplied service credits, and auto-renewals on defunct services. This is commercial negligence.
Simplif-i specialises in forensic contract recovery. We do not just find the leak: we weld it shut.
