Unlocking 12% Cost Savings: SDI’s Tactical Sourcing Success Story

One of our Fortune 500 clients experienced significant YoY spending growth. However, their constrained procurement expansion led to insufficient support for projects below $200K.
This limitation, including a lack of standardized terms, supplier due diligence, and negotiation efforts, resulted in prolonged PO processing times and a subpar end-user experience.

SDI response included:

The solution

SDI initiated Tactical Sourcing Services for low-value needs and implemented category management for non-strategic categories.
This led to a 45% reduction in non-strategic workload within the initial six months.
The Master Vendor solution that followed reduced processing times, lowered transaction costs, and enhanced stakeholder satisfaction.
