Challenge
Fragmented regional procurement models limited enterprise-wide spend visibility.
Managed spend reactively without central procurement oversight or proactive category management.
Disparate data sources made it difficult to establish a true total spend profile.
Lacked insights to identify savings opportunities and inform sourcing decisions.
Results
Exceeded target of 1% annual savings over 10 years.
Gained visibility into 96% of $3B indirect spend.
Reduced invoice processing times to just over three days.
Elevated procurement to a key operational pillar.
“Our business case was all around cost savings. We were looking for an extra 1% every single year over a 10-year period, and we've smashed those targets.”
— Chris Thomason, Vice President of Indirect Procurement, Rolls-Royce plc
