Case Study: Zimmer achieves cost-efficient, quality-assured global purchasing with JAGGAER

New Flexibility in Global Purchasing

Zimmer, a world-leading provider of orthopedic implants, faced a sourcing challenge: a limited number of suppliers meet its exacting material and component specifications while the business must drive cost-efficient global purchasing. To address this, Zimmer selected JAGGAER and deployed its Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) and Purchase Order Management (POM) modules integrated with SAP to ensure specifications travel with each order and quality standards are maintained.

JAGGAER’s solution electronically transfers detailed specifications from SAP into purchase orders, produces PDF orders for suppliers, and enables paperless order and confirmation workflows, with supplier confirmations recorded back in SAP. The result is automated, faster ordering, relief for tactical sourcing, detailed forecast-driven purchasing and inventory re-engineering—delivering cost-efficient procurement without compromising Zimmer’s quality requirements.
