Case Study: The Carter Center achieves streamlined global procurement and cost savings with ESM Solutions' ESM Purchase and ESM Sourcing

The Carter Center to implement ESM Purchase, ESM Sourcing

The Carter Center, the Atlanta-based nongovernmental organization founded by Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter that works in more than 75 nations, needed a more efficient, global procurement and sourcing capability to support its distributed staff and international operations. To address manual processes, limited visibility into spend, and the need for accessible tools across continents, The Carter Center subscribed to ESM Solutions’ eProcurement and sourcing applications — ESM Purchase and ESM Sourcing.

ESM Solutions implemented ESM Purchase for intuitive online ordering, visibility, and automated workflows, and ESM Sourcing to eliminate manual sourcing, enable collaborative bidding and quoting, and manage the full RFX process. The vendor tested application speed from Africa to ensure global accessibility; the rollout is expected to give The Carter Center tighter control of spend, faster sourcing cycles, reduced manual effort, and improved opportunities to capture savings.
