Challenge

Disconnected systems and offline RFP processes created data silos across 55 countries and 118 ERPs.

Manual sourcing through email and spreadsheets made collaboration slow and inconsistent.

Category managers spent excessive time on admin tasks instead of strategic work.

Results

Procurement became faster, unified, and insight-driven through one platform.

Category managers gained time to focus on supplier strategy and innovation.

Standardized workflows built a scalable foundation for continued global growth.

“With CSO, those same RFPs take eight to 10 hours instead of 25. It’s not just faster; the quality of the analysis is one of the biggest advantages.”

— Alberto Posa, Senior Director for Global Procurement, Xylem
