Case Study: Mars Achieves Major Sourcing Savings with Keelvar

Mars Achieves Impressive Savings In Complex Events

Mars wanted to optimize complex tenders and support its digital procurement transformation, but its previous sourcing tool was difficult to use and had low adoption. As a result, event creation was slow, resource-intensive, and missed strategic sourcing opportunities, prompting Mars to look for a more user-friendly solution.

Mars switched to Keelvar’s Sourcing Optimizer and Autonomous Sourcing solutions to automate event creation, streamline workflows, and improve decision-making across sourcing teams. With Keelvar, Mars ran more than 150 events in its first year, cut complex RFP build time by 90% for European road freight, reduced average time to bidding by 25%, managed $1.61 billion in spend, achieved 4% average savings, and generated an estimated $32 million in savings across 25 major events.
