Case Study: Grundfos achieves significant cost and time savings with Scanmarket

Grundfos - Customer Case Study

Grundfos, a leading pump manufacturer producing over 16 million units annually, needed to select the best suppliers for office supplies and print materials. Dániel Gál, a member of the eSourcing team, was asked to compare a large pool of existing and potential suppliers — including their environmental profiles — and to find a faster, more transparent alternative to lengthy face‑to‑face negotiations.

He used Scanmarket’s eRFx to prequalify suppliers and then ran an eAuction for shortlisted vendors. The process enabled quick side‑by‑side evaluation, transferred opening bids into the auction, and produced very active, competitive bidding. The outcome: significant cost savings and improved market transparency, centralized documentation, strong supplier engagement, and a reduction in sourcing time from about three months to under three weeks — prompting plans to run more eSourcing events.
