Case Study: Cadent Gas cuts procurement bid review time with Cogna

Cadent Gas - Customer Case Study

Cadent Gas faced a significant challenge in processing procurement bids from suppliers, which were submitted in various formats and often contained errors. This resulted in a large, unmanageable volume of files for their commercial team, requiring extensive manual data validation and time-consuming follow-ups with suppliers.

Cogna addressed this by implementing a solution that included standardized bid templates and a self-serve portal for suppliers, which eliminated 100% of the manual data effort. This allowed the Cadent team to cut down review times dramatically, enabling discussions with suppliers on the same day a bid was received. Cogna's support was instrumental in helping Cadent Gas achieve £11 million in annual procurement savings through better-informed negotiations.
