    • Category management is a strategic procurement approach that involves managing a group of related products or services to maximize value, optimize costs, and enhance supplier relationships. Essentially, it’s the structured management of category taxonomy, ensuring that goods and services are categorized, sourced, and managed efficiently to drive better decision-making and operational efficiency.

    The Spend and Savings Management (sn_spend_mgmt) feature enables category managers to import and manage their organization's category taxonomy. By incorporating this taxonomy into the ServiceNow system, category managers can streamline procurement processes, track spending, and evaluate savings more effectively at the category level.
