Case Study: NORDSEE achieves 12% savings on maintenance and repairs with Vortal

NORDSEE - Customer Case Study

NORDSEE, a German restaurant chain specializing in seafood, faced challenges managing a fragmented supplier base of over 200 vendors for the maintenance and repair of its kitchen equipment across Germany. They partnered with VORTAL to gain spend visibility, reduce costs from production downtime, and implement a centralized, standardized preventive maintenance program using VORTAL's eSourcing technology and strategic sourcing expertise.

VORTAL implemented a solution that included extensive supplier scouting and qualification, a staged negotiation process, and the standardization of maintenance plans. This effort consolidated NORDSEE's supplier base from over 200 down to just 9 qualified suppliers. The project resulted in significant savings, achieving a 7% reduction from negotiations and a 12% total saving versus the original baseline, while ensuring greater operational control and compliance.
