Case Study: PADNOS achieves faster procurement and 6,000+ hours of downtime savings with Levelpath

PADNOS Simplifies Procurement and Eliminates Downtime with Levelpath

Padnos, a fourth-generation leader in metal, paper, and plastic recycling, faced significant operational delays due to its outdated, disjointed procurement systems. The company's reliance on legacy tools, email, and phone chains created a particularly critical problem for its mobile fleet of over 100 truck drivers, where breakdowns resulted in hours of unproductive downtime. Seeking a modern solution, Padnos turned to the Levelpath procurement platform to streamline operations and empower its team.

By implementing Levelpath, Padnos established guided buying workflows and a centralized contract repository, which drastically improved efficiency. The mobile app allowed drivers to request repairs directly from suppliers with just a few taps, eliminating lengthy phone chains. This solution led to a 76% faster procurement cycle and annualized fleet downtime savings of over 6,000 hours, delivering significant cost savings and operational improvements for Padnos.
