Case Study: The Francis Crick Institute achieves procurement savings with OneAdvanced Purchasing

The Francis Crick Institute Partnering with OneAdvanced for Purchasing

The Francis Crick Institute, a biomedical discovery institute, partnered with OneAdvanced to gain deeper insights into their use of the vendor's Purchasing solution. After a few years of operation, their challenge was to analyze the efficiency of their vast product catalogue, understand end-user purchasing behavior, and extract spend data to identify potential cost savings.

OneAdvanced implemented its Catalogue Savings Report, which provided a detailed analysis of the customer's procurement data. The solution identified training gaps, over 540,000 product duplicates, and a potential saving of £63k. This allowed The Francis Crick Institute to streamline their catalogue, improve compliance, and realize significant cost efficiencies, helping them achieve best value for money without disrupting vital scientific research.
