Case Study: Champion Petfoods streamlines RFQ sourcing with Aavenir RFPflow

Champion Petfoods Streamlined Sourcing Process with Digitized and Automated RFQ Workflows

Champion Petfoods, a pet food manufacturer, was struggling with a highly manual sourcing process for raw materials that relied on juggling emails and Excel spreadsheets. This approach led to errors, time-consuming cycles, and a lack of visibility, making it difficult to compare vendors and manage historical data. To overcome these challenges, they turned to Aavenir and its RFPflow service.

Aavenir implemented its RFPflow product, which completely digitized and automated the RFQ workflow from drafting to awarding. This solution provided greater visibility, consolidated data management, and the flexibility to award bids at the ingredient level across multiple suppliers. The results for Champion Petfoods included an 80% increase in efficiency for setting up RFQs, a fully transparent and automated process, and a significant advantage from having easy access to historical data for negotiations.
