Case Study: Wolseley and MES achieve significant transaction cost savings with Asite

Wolseley and MES - Customer Case Study

Wolseley, one of the UK’s largest building products distributors, and MES, an M&E design and engineering specialist, needed to cut the cost and inefficiency of their order processes. MES was still raising purchase orders by hand, while Wolseley wanted to improve transaction handling and customer service without adding IT infrastructure. They worked with **Asite PLC** and its eProcurement solution to modernize procurement and e-commerce.

**Asite PLC** reviewed both companies’ procurement workflows, connected Wolseley’s order management system to the Asite platform, and set up a tailored catalogue for MES so orders could be placed electronically with minimal manual intervention. The result was significantly lower transaction costs, fewer queries, more accurate orders, and easier invoice matching, with MES estimating a **39% reduction in transaction costs**. Wolseley also increased e-commerce volume and improved order processing efficiency.
