Case Study: Mantu cuts IT purchasing costs by 10% with Markit

How Amaris (now Mantu) centralised IT purchasing and cut annual costs by 10% in 28 countries

The customer, Mantu (formerly Amaris), a global consultancy operating in 55 countries, faced challenges with an inefficient and decentralized IT purchasing process. They partnered with the vendor Markit to implement its online IT purchasing solution, aiming to reduce costs, streamline operations, and free up internal resources.

By implementing Markit's centralized purchasing system, Mantu significantly streamlined its operations. The results were substantial: a 10% annual reduction in total IT purchase costs, a 73% decrease in average delivery times, and a reduction in staff handling purchasing from 25 people to just 3. The vendor Markit enabled these efficiencies through volume-based pricing, a single master agreement, and detailed spend reporting.
