Case Study: Viking Range, LLC achieves $908K annual cost savings and 887% YoY cumulative savings with Simfoni

How Viking Overcame Supply Chain Challenges and Achieved Huge Cost Savings Through New Sourcing Capabilities

Viking Range, LLC, a leading U.S. manufacturer of high‑end kitchen appliances and a subsidiary of The Middleby Corporation, faced a largely reactive procurement function with little strategic sourcing capability and a 40% spending cut at the onset of the COVID‑19 pandemic. Middleby Residential engaged Simfoni to rapidly bolster Viking Range, LLC’s sourcing capabilities and drive cost savings through an expedient, sustainable solution.

Simfoni implemented a wave management plan, pivoted focus from direct to indirect spend, and used analytics to vet nearly 10,000 line items, put reduced‑pricing multi‑year contracts in place, and deployed its BuyDesk catalog service for supplier consolidation and performance management. The program delivered $908K in annual cost savings, achieved 887% cumulative savings year‑over‑year, managed 455+ suppliers, and realized that indirect spend accounted for 60% of total savings while representing 44% of spend — outcomes driven and sustained by Simfoni.
