Case Study: Leading Medical Device Manufacturer achieves significant cost savings, operational efficiency, and nearshoring success with Corcentric's Sourcing & Procurement Help Desk

Enabling the Business with On-Demand Supply Chain Support

Leading Medical Device Manufacturer faced a reactive, underdeveloped Procurement function while moving much of its manufacturing out of China (90% previously) and opening a facility in Mexico. Concerned about supplier visibility, cost control, IP risk, and the inability to staff the right mix of category experts, the company engaged Corcentric for on-demand support via its Sourcing & Procurement Help Desk.

Corcentric deployed its Procurement Help Desk—providing sourcing execution, direct materials sourcing, logistics and supply chain optimization, nearshoring support, and category subject-matter experts—completing 15+ initiatives across six commodity groups in year one. The engagement delivered measurable impact: >$100k hard-dollar savings, 1.5x ROI, 16 markets explored, and category savings ranging from 11%–75% (examples: consolidated supply base = 15% savings; contract manufacturing shift = 40% savings; automation CAPEX = 80% savings; gel packs = 75% savings; textiles = $72k). Corcentric’s work left the customer with a sustainable supply chain and a stronger, more strategic Procurement capability.
