Case Study: Flint Group achieves better raw material cost visibility with Mintec

How Mintec's data helps Flint keep track of the key cost drivers

Flint Group, a global supplier to the print consumables and packaging industries, needed a better way to track the cost drivers behind more than 14,000 raw materials across 160+ categories. Their existing supplier-based pricing process lacked consistency and independence, making it difficult for 18 buyers to maintain accurate market insight and negotiate effectively.

Mintec provided Flint Group with its independent market intelligence and product cost modelling solution, supported by over 20,000 data series and client services expertise. The result was more reliable raw material pricing data, improved visibility into market conditions, stronger buying and pricing decisions, and greater confidence that Flint’s margins were based on independent, unbiased insight.
