Case Study: Holman Enterprises achieves 7% immediate savings and reduces suppliers from 40 to 5 with Arkestro

Holman Enterprises Transforms Large-scale Operations with Predictive Procurement

Holman Enterprises, an international automotive distribution and manufacturing company, faced decentralized procurement silos, ad hoc purchasing from a limited supplier pool, and inaccurate budget forecasts during pandemic-driven disruption. To solve this, Holman implemented Arkestro’s predictive procurement software to centralize sourcing, automate and accelerate bidding, and produce real-time forecasts of costs and availability.

With Arkestro, Holman consolidated its supplier base from 40 contracted suppliers to 5 strategic partners, realized immediate 7% savings in one day, and saved over $202k in the first bid cycle (including 7% savings on a $500k+ spend stream). Arkestro’s solution improved procurement cycle times, enabled accurate market-driven forecasting, preserved margins, and delivered faster, data-driven purchasing decisions across the organization.
