Case Study: Safariland achieves standardized procurement and significant cost savings with Fairmarkit

Fairmarkit brought enhanced collaboration, visibility and standardization for Safariland's buyers

Safariland, a Jacksonville-based manufacturer with 1,001–5,000 employees, faced a primary challenge of standardizing procurement practices across its buyer teams. To address fragmented processes and limited supplier visibility, Safariland engaged Fairmarkit and adopted the Fairmarkit tool to bring consistency to non‑strategic and tail‑spend buying.

Fairmarkit implemented a platform that enhanced collaboration, visibility and supplier expansion, helping Safariland source $1M through the tool, realize 11% savings on MRO and tail spend and achieve 7% realized savings across all categories. By standardizing workflows and broadening the supplier base, Fairmarkit also reduced supplier risk while delivering measurable cost reductions.
