Solution: The manufacturer utilized lean principles, a philosophy of collaboration, and an openness to automation in its organizational transformation. Driven by a need to perform more sourcing activities more quickly, the company evaluated its existing eSourcing tool - built primarily for indirect sourcing - and found it to be lacking for direct materials sourcing. They chose Directworks.
Results: Freed from the burden of mundane tasks, the sourcing team could more easily collaborate with suppliers and negotiate the best total cost, while maintaining quality and managing risk. In a short period, the manufacturer had increased its number of eSourcing projects by a factor of 7x, streamlining its processes while identifying millions of dollars in potential savings.
