Achieving 30% Cost Savings with Enhanced Spend Visibility: How a US-Based Industrial Manufacturer Transformed Procurement with Quantzig

Business Challenge

A leading US-based industrial manufacturer struggled with a lack of transparency in procurement spending. The company faced inefficiencies in supplier management, uncontrolled maverick spending, and difficulty consolidating purchasing data across multiple business units. These challenges resulted in missed cost-saving opportunities and increased financial risks.
