Case Study: Sainsbury’s improves commodity risk management with Expana

Sainsbury’s achieves faster commodity decisions and year-to-date cost efficiencies with Expana

Sainsbury's, a major UK supermarket chain, faced challenges in managing commodity price volatility due to hard-to-digest data from their previous provider. This led to reactive decision-making, communication bottlenecks, and difficulty leveraging insights in supplier negotiations, hindering their procurement strategy. They partnered with Expana to address these issues.

Expana provided an intuitive platform with clear market analysis and accessible data, transforming Sainsbury's approach from reactive to proactive. The solution delivered significant cost efficiencies in raw material negotiations, outperforming market benchmarks. It also expanded the team's capability into new categories like orange juice and fostered more collaborative relationships with suppliers who also used the Expana platform.
