Case Study: Spanish Food Business achieves sustainable procurement savings with Xchanging

Food and beverage effective procurement helping to create a new competitive edge

Spanish Food Business, one of Spain’s largest baking businesses with multiple factories across Spain and other EU countries, faced pressure from a severe economic downturn and low-cost rivals. To protect market share and reduce costs, the company sought to improve indirect procurement processes, spend visibility, and savings delivery, and selected Xchanging for its co-sourcing procurement support.

Xchanging implemented a comprehensive co-sourcing solution across multiple indirect categories including marketing, IT, professional services, maintenance and repair, logistics, facilities management, travel, supplies, and fleet vehicles. The partnership delivered quick wins from day one, greater spend visibility, more spend under management, improved compliance, and proven ongoing savings tracked to the bottom line, while also helping build a more sustainable, self-funding procurement function.
