Case Study: Samsung achieves 85% time savings with Keelvar

Samsung Make 85% Time Savings by Replacing Excel

Samsung, the global tech giant, needed a better way to manage complex logistics sourcing events involving large volumes of carriers, data, and decision scenarios. Before working with Keelvar, its RFPs were built in Excel and supplier communications were handled through individual inboxes, creating a manual process that struggled to support strategic sourcing. Samsung turned to Keelvar’s sourcing optimization solution, Sourcing Optimizer, to improve efficiency and outcomes.

With Keelvar’s Sourcing Optimizer, Samsung automated event setup, validated supplier offers, and used instant scenario modeling to make better award decisions. The result was an 85% time savings on RFQs, $5 million in additional savings, and the ability to launch Samsung’s largest-ever ground freight event in just two weeks for $100 million in spend. Keelvar also helped Samsung improve visibility for suppliers and expand sourcing optimization to more spend categories.
