Case Study: Republic Wireless achieves scalable, streamlined strategic sourcing with Scout RFP

Republic Wireless Scales Strategic Sourcing with Scout

Republic Wireless, a WiFi-first smartphone carrier experiencing rapid growth, needed better visibility into trading partner connectivity and end-to-end supply chain and logistics. Previously the supply chain team relied on Word and Excel to aggregate and compare supplier responses, a slow, resource-intensive process that limited the number of suppliers they could evaluate for complex sourcing events.

They implemented Scout RFP’s cloud-based strategic sourcing platform to run and manage RFPs, using features like unlimited stakeholder invitations, a questionnaire builder, a live event dashboard, and a secure supplier database. The team could analyze complex bids from more suppliers, drive greater competition, and ultimately secure a fit-for-purpose solution at an attractive price—work they were able to present to executives and scale to other departments.
