Case Study: Maxar Technologies achieves 15% cost savings and $22M in spend under management with Fairmarkit

With Fairmarkit, Maxar now has a "wealth of knowledge" on their procurement processes

Maxar Technologies, an integrated space infrastructure and earth intelligence company, faced an inefficient, manual procurement process for sourcing everything from precision satellite parts to factory supplies across hundreds of suppliers. Lacking centralized purchase data and visibility, Maxar needed a more efficient, competitive way to run RFQs and analyze spend—so they turned to Fairmarkit’s sourcing platform.

Fairmarkit was implemented in days, centralizing sourcing, increasing supplier competition, and providing visibility into RFQ timelines, bidder activity, and manufacturer planning needs. The Fairmarkit platform delivered measurable impact: roughly 15% in new cost savings and $22M in new spend brought under management, faster sourcing cycles, and actionable procurement insights that improved both tactical execution and strategic planning.
