Our client is a market leader in providing subsea systems. It offers advanced engineering solutions for offshore oil and gas extraction, renewable energy installations, and deep-sea exploration. The company has experience of more than 25 years with a global presence in 30 countries. It supports complex, multimillion-dollar marine projects.
The client’s main aim was to transform its procurement and sourcing functions digitally, which involved gathering bid quotes for its air freight, ocean freight, and land freight globally. They basically wanted to enhance efficiency, increase transparency, and streamline decision-making in its procurement process. Other goals of the client were to reduce sourcing cycle times, boost supplier competitiveness, and maintain procurement compliance across global operations.
The client was managing procurement process manually. It was, however, time-consuming and prone to inconsistencies across different regions. There was no centralized platform for handling RFIs, RFQs, and auction processes. This results in delays, reduced supplier engagement, and minimal visibility into supplier performance.
The client was operating in a highly regulated industry, so even minor delays in procurement can cause huge losses.
Not all of its global supplier base were conversant in using digital tools, which hampered communication.
The internal stakeholders were hesitant to adopt a new system who were accustomed to the legacy procurement method.
The client needed to implement a new tool without disrupting its existing ERP system for smooth operational flow.
