Case Study: Sapa simplifies procurement and expands its B2B marketplace with Aquiire

Sapa Simplifies and Consolidates Procurement Systems and Expands Their B2B Marketplace Through Europe

Sapa, a global leader in aluminum solutions, faced a challenge with its complex Oracle procurement system that was difficult for employees to use. Following a major merger, their supplier information was scattered and maintaining numerous catalogs was resource-intensive. They turned to Aquiire (then doing business as Vinimaya) to help expand and simplify their eprocurement capabilities.

Aquiire implemented a centralized eProcurement marketplace solution that created a single repository for all supplier catalogs. This provided a simple, consumer-like interface with search and comparison shopping features, which greatly increased user adoption. The solution reduced the time and resources needed for catalog maintenance and allowed Sapa to successfully expand its Aquiire-powered marketplace into several European countries, driving significant savings through global buying power.
