Eric Buhler · Procurement & Supply Chain
Macro indicators procurement teams actually negotiate with.
This dashboard tracks the public macro indices that show up inside vendor escalation clauses, supplier price letters, and renewal asks. It is scoped for IT category management and oil and gas supply chain teams at midstream operators with Alberta and BC operations.
Every indicator is sourced from a public agency and refreshes on a known cadence. The methodology page covers application criticality, vendor segmentation, and the framework behind which indices belong in which renewal conversation.
