“Fragmented processes and poor visibility slowed procurement and decision-making“.
The company faced significant challenges in its strategic sourcing and bidding processes. Limited traceability and visibility of ongoing bids, a lack of standardized procurement workflows, and lengthy execution times hindered efficiency. Additionally, limited access to key indicators made data-driven decision-making difficult, impacting overall procurement performance and agility.
The company partnered with Sintec Consulting’s Digital Sourcing & Procurement practice to transform its strategic sourcing and bidding processes. Through a structured approach, it enhanced procurement visibility, standardized workflows, and optimized supplier collaboration, leveraging Coupa’s capabilities to drive long-term efficiency and strengthen its overall business strategy.
The project focused on transforming the company’s strategic sourcing and procurement processes with a strong emphasis on business alignment, operating model design, and effective change management. Ten purchasing categories were defined for spend analysis, and over 250 suppliers were successfully managed. By streamlining workflows and optimizing supplier collaboration, the approach led to faster bidding cycles, resulting in more than 700 bids and 6 successful reverse auctions. Sintec Consulting’s Digital Sourcing & Procurement practice played a crucial role in embedding these efficiencies, driving a more agile and responsive supply chain.
