Case Study: Vorwerk achieves up to 10% savings on purchased volume with Capgemini IBX Business Network

Vorwerk - Customer Case Study

Vorwerk, a Germany-based manufacturer of household goods, faced challenges with its decentralized and inefficient indirect procurement process. The company lacked visibility and control over its spending, leading to low contract compliance and missed savings opportunities. To address this, Vorwerk collaborated with Capgemini to implement a procurement transformation using the vendor's IBX Business Network platform, specifically the cloud-based IBX Purchase-to-Pay and IBX Spend Analytics solutions.

The solution from Capgemini was layered on top of Vorwerk's existing SAP system to ensure smooth integration. It introduced a centralized procurement department and an easy-to-use, automated system that guided users to preferred suppliers. This implementation resulted in significant benefits for Vorwerk, including 50% of purchase orders now being fully automated and an estimated cost saving of up to 10% on purchased volume. The project provided Vorwerk with greater control, visibility, and efficiency across its entire procurement process.
