Case Study: Amer Sports achieves 18% spend savings and 38% time savings with Mercanis

Amer Sports - 18% Spend Savings and 38% Time Savings in Sourcing Across a Global Organization

Amer Sports, a global sporting goods company with brands like Arc'teryx and Salomon, faced challenges in its indirect procurement processes, which relied on manual tools like Excel and email. These inefficient methods slowed down sourcing, hindered spend transparency, and increased workload. To support its ambitious growth, Amer Sports partnered with vendor Mercanis to professionalize its operations, decrease overall spend, and accelerate its sourcing process using the Mercanis sourcing module.

The Mercanis solution streamlined and digitalized the RFx and decision-making processes, enabling greater stakeholder collaboration and guided self-service sourcing. The implementation was completed in just four weeks. The results were significant: Amer Sports achieved 38% time savings in procurement processes, allowing the team to handle 175% more projects, and realized 18% spend savings over 12 months in the projects managed with the Mercanis platform.
