Launching a procurement transformation
	With a highly decentralized buying model, this private label food manufacturer was looking to improve spend visibility and institutionalize a best-practice supply management. A big component of their implementation was change management and Emptoris consultants helped them with upfront opportunity assessment and with the redesign of their overall sourcing process. As a result, they have:
Implemented a standard sourcing process within procurement Created control and monitoring systems Trained buyers how to strategically source using the 6-Step process and Emptoris solution Saved $2.5 million in the initial 6 months

Overall, the impact has been transformative. One sourcing commodity manager noted, "Emptoris is opening up completely new opportunities. The auction helped us validate market pricing estimates. And, with the advanced scenario analysis, we demonstrated the potential savings from sourcing strawberries from China. As a result, R&D is now qualifying international suppliers."
