How a Global Natural Resources Company Simplified Their Supply Chain & Realized Cost Savings Through Greater Efficiency

Glencore, a global natural resources company, faced complex, global procurement challenges that required faster speed-to-savings, global sourcing and auction capability, expert support, and an easy-to-use supplier experience. To address these needs, Glencore engaged Simfoni to deploy an eSourcing and eAuction platform to digitize and standardize its procurement lifecycle.

Simfoni implemented a unified eSourcing/eAuction solution with supplier management, advanced analytics and automation (including AI-driven tools) to centralize supplier data, run RFIs/RFPs and conduct auctions. The partnership delivered measurable impact: 8–25% annual savings on average, 600+ projects managed per year, and 700k+ logins since implementation, along with improved supplier relationships and greater procurement efficiency.
