Case Study: YTL Hotels achieves 17% sourcing cost savings and 55% spend coverage with Ivalua E‑Sourcing

E - Sourcing Charts Strategic Sourcing Transformation Journey For Malaysia's Leading Hotel Chain

YTL Hotels, the hospitality arm of Malaysia’s YTL Corporation, faced limited impact from conventional cost-reduction efforts and needed a more agile, consolidated approach to sourcing. The company’s objectives were to create a responsive procurement ecosystem, identify long-term savings across spend management, and harmonize disparate sourcing processes onto a single compliant platform.

By implementing E-Sourcing on demand and automating strategic sourcing—supported by domain consulting—YTL engaged over 400 suppliers and routed more than 55% of annual spend through the platform within six months. The initiative delivered a 17% reduction in sourcing costs across categories and exceeded strategic savings targets by 25%, significantly improving sourcing coverage for both direct materials and indirect goods and services.
