Case Study: Modine Manufacturing Company achieves global manufacturing competitiveness and cost savings with Zycus

Modine Uses Spend Analysis To Drive Global Manufacturing Competitiveness

Modine Manufacturing Company, a global thermal-management leader with ~30 facilities in 14 countries, faced fragmented spend data across six ERP/legacy systems and regional procurement organizations. To drive materials standardization, supplier rationalization, working-capital improvement and global commodity strategies, Modine selected Zycus—deploying Zycus AutoClass and iAnalyze as its spend-analysis platform.

Working closely with Zycus, Modine implemented a smoothly executed solution that standardized taxonomy (UNSPSC plus custom codes), refreshed spend quarterly, and enabled deep “slice-and-dice” reporting by category, region, supplier and payment terms. The Zycus tools quickly revealed sourcing and payment-term opportunities, supported supplier performance management and helped drive cost initiatives—including an 8% savings in targeted indirect services within six months—improving Modine’s global sourcing effectiveness and spend under management.
