Case Study: ManpowerGroup achieves organization-wide spend control and 70% centralized purchasing with Proactis

Manpower takes control of spend, with organization-wide insight into expenditure

ManpowerGroup, a global staffing and workforce solutions provider operating worldwide with thousands of offices, needed to centralize purchasing, gain organization-wide spend visibility and keep the system user-friendly for high staff turnover. To meet targets such as routing 70% of purchases through a single platform, they chose Proactis and its procurement SaaS offering to replace time-consuming, paper-based, fragmented ordering processes.

Proactis implemented a hosted, one-stop-shop procurement portal that allows branch-level ordering with automatic routing to centrally selected suppliers and real-time spend data for the purchasing team. The Proactis solution now processes about 70% of ManpowerGroup’s purchases, reduced administration and IT burden, freed staff for higher-value work, and gave Procurement better control of organization-wide spend to negotiate improved supplier terms.
