Classify Your Entire Spend in Days, Not Months
Pearstop auto-classifies up to 95% of your procurement lines, using UNSPSC, the global standard for procurement categorisation, so your team can stop doing it manually.
Unclassified spend data is the enemy of procurement performance
Without accurate UNSPSC classification, your spend analytics are built on sand. Every sourcing decision, audit, and ERP report is undermined by inconsistent categories.
- Without UNSPSC codes, spend categories are inconsistent, incomplete, and unreliable across systems
- Manual UNSPSC tagging requires specialist knowledge and takes months, slowing down sourcing and reporting
- Without proper classification, category management is impossible — and so is negotiating better contracts.

"We had thousands of product lines that needed to be categorised before we could even begin to understand our costs. Pearstop classified 95% of them in under a week. That would have taken our team six months and still wouldn't have been this accurate."

Straight answers about how Pearstop's UNSPSC classification works.
What happens if we don't have existing classification data to train from?
Most classification systems rely on historical data to learn from. Pearstop's approach combines rule-based assignment, machine learning, and an LLM layer that draws on broad product and industry knowledge, meaning it performs strongly even without existing priors. Companies starting from scratch get reliable results from day one.
What accuracy rate can we expect?
Pearstop typically auto-classifies 85–95% of procurement lines. Lines that fall below the confidence threshold are flagged for review rather than classified incorrectly — so you always know what's been confirmed and what still needs a human check.
Which UNSPSC version do you use?
We work with the current UNSPSC release and can align to your organisation's preferred version or internal taxonomy if you have one. If you need a custom coding hierarchy on top of UNSPSC, we can accommodate that too.
How do you handle supplier names that are inconsistent or misspelled?
Supplier name normalisation is part of the process. Before classification runs, we clean and deduplicate supplier records so that variations of the same supplier are resolved into a single entity. This improves classification accuracy and gives you cleaner spend analysis downstream.
What does the process look like end to end?
You share an export of your procurement data — from SAP, Oracle, or any ERP. We clean and classify it, return a structured dataset with UNSPSC codes assigned, and document confidence levels per line. Turnaround depends on volume but most initial datasets are returned within a few business days.
