Case Study: Groupe ADP achieves best-in-class procurement — 98% spend under management and over 10% annual savings — with Ivalua

Achieve best-in-class procurement Despite constrained resources and A strict regulatory environment

Groupe ADP, a world leader in airport design and operations, faced the challenge of driving best‑in‑class procurement with the same headcount while operating under a strict, evolving regulatory framework (EU directive 2014/25) and ISO 9001 requirements. The company needed to standardize heterogeneous category practices and KPIs, convert administrative staff into procurement professionals, protect sensitive data, and preserve supplier relationships — all while improving profitability and accelerating CSR initiatives.

By implementing Ivalua’s source‑to‑pay suite (supplier management, sourcing, contract management, procurement, invoicing, and analytics) and automating processes, Groupe ADP centralized supplier master data, enabled dynamic spend and performance tracking, and integrated savings recognition with finance. Over nine years they grew spend under management from 40% to 98%, converted administrative profiles to 100% procurement professionals, achieved >10% annual savings, negotiated 700 supplier contracts per year, raised their CSR score from 41 to 73, and now manage €2.0B spend across 3,100 suppliers and 65,000 orders annually.
