Our client is a renowned Field Services enterprise based in the UK. It provides technical and operational support to infrastructure development companies nationwide. With a wide network of subcontractors and vendors, the company oversees high volumes of procurement activities, mainly for field-based services and equipment.
The client wanted to upgrade and streamline its procurement processes while purchasing equipment and raw materials. Other objectives were to improve transparency in supplier selection, minimize operational costs, increase supplier engagement, and ensure quicker turnaround times on sourcing activities. The client also wanted to leverage digital tools for increasing scalability while maintaining compliance and quality.
The client was facing problems due to legacy procurement methods, particularly manual bidding and quote collection. This led to soaring costs, lack of supplier engagement, wasting of time, and inefficiencies in resource allocation.
It was the most critical challenge occured due to siloed procurement processes. Siloed processes also caused lack of transparency.
Limited visibility into market prices and slow responses of suppliers caused issues related to pricing fairness frequently.
As the client’s procurement process had no proper formats and standardisation, their team could not compare bids across suppliers.
The manual process made it challenging to negotiate or reduce prices. It affected the company’s ability to reduce costs during high-volume purchasing.
Our advanced reverse auction solution is useful for maximizing savings and reducing workload while attracting more bidders or suppliers. It can help modern enterprises save 18 to 40 percent on addressable spend.
