Case Study: JM Family Enterprises achieves procurement efficiency and $3.6M annual savings with SAP Ariba

JM Family Enterprises Driving Procurement Efficiency with SAP Ariba Solutions

JM Family Enterprises, a diversified automotive company based in Deerfield Beach, Florida (about 4,100 employees and $13.1B revenue), faced decentralized, paper‑based procurement that made sourcing, contract access, and spend visibility slow and inconsistent. To attract internal customers and improve service, the procurement team set out to standardize and automate processes and encourage more buying through the central procurement function.

JM Family deployed Ariba solutions for contract management, sourcing, spend visibility and procure‑to‑order with support from SAP’s Global Service & Support, creating a single digital repository and automated workflows. The change doubled sourcing capacity with the same staff, reduced PO processing time by 75%, put $550M of annual spend under management, and delivered about $3.6M in annual savings while enabling near‑instant answers to spend questions.
