Case Study: Transplace achieves large-scale sourcing optimization and 5–15% cost savings with JAGGAER’s Sourcing Optimizer

JAGGAER’s Advanced Sourcing Optimizer Powers Transplace’s Complex, Large-Scale Sourcing Events

Transplace, the largest third‑party logistics provider of managed transportation services in North America, needed a way to manage extremely large, complex sourcing events—hundreds of carriers, thousands of lanes, multiple modes, and simultaneous large-scale bids—that had become a data overload as their business grew. To meet that challenge they partnered with JAGGAER and adopted JAGGAER’s Sourcing Optimizer solution to organize and present vast datasets accurately and efficiently.

By using JAGGAER’s Sourcing Optimizer, Transplace automated the analysis of multiple factors beyond price (service quality, equipment, capacity, geography) and streamlined communication with carriers, enabling rigorous scenario reviews and optimal carrier placement. The work supported by JAGGAER delivered measurable results—bids have produced cost savings of roughly 5–15% over recent years—while allowing Transplace to handle many concurrent large events, maintain high service levels, and better match carriers to customer requirements.
