Case Study: University of Pittsburgh achieves 95% spend categorization and major supplier consolidation with Rosslyn

University of Pittsburgh has been relying on Rosslyn to help it deliver savings and improve both its productivity and reporting efficiency

The University of Pittsburgh’s Strategic Sourcing team faced inefficient, spreadsheet-based spend management that relied on suppliers for data and struggled to accurately categorize supplier spend. To modernize procurement analytics and consolidate supplier information, the university turned to Rosslyn and its Spend Analytics/Rosslyn Platform for a centralized, normalized view of categorized spend.

Rosslyn implemented its procurement analytics solution, enabling faster access to data, improved reporting, supplier normalization, and category prioritization across teams. As a result, the university manages about $800M in supplier spend from over 16,000 suppliers, achieved a 95% data categorization target, planned a reduction of roughly 7,000 suppliers, and realized measurable gains in efficiency, savings, accountability, and decision-making.
