Case Study: University of Waikato halves procurement costs and eliminates paperwork with Unimarket

University of Waikato - Customer Case Study

The University of Waikato faced an arduous, paper-heavy procurement process with high transaction costs and significant manual work. To address this, the university partnered with Unimarket to implement its e-procurement platform and supplier management functionality.

Unimarket’s solution removed 99% of manual procurement tasks, halved the cost per transaction from $70 to $35, and drove a 30% reduction in photocopier use, saving $78,000 a year. Unimarket also provided smart supplier tagging to channel spend to preferred suppliers, giving the University of Waikato greater visibility and efficiency and enabling a shift toward more strategic procurement.
