LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SpendEdge, a well-known procurement intelligence solution provider, has
announced the completion of their latest strategic
sourcing study for a mining industry client.
Low return on investments over the last few years has augmented the need
for efficiency and establishing a strategic sourcing process in
the mining
industry. Mining companies are facing immense pressure to
identify new technology trends, especially those that concern the
availability of new mining software, to boost their efficiencies. Such
challenges have compelled companies in the mining industry to
shift from a manufacturing-based business model to a service-oriented
business model and adopt a strategic sourcing process to
categorize and deploy the right sourcing strategy apart from negotiating
favorable terms with suppliers.
According to the procurement experts at SpendEdge, “Mining
companies need to enhance value for stakeholders by discovering,
acquiring, developing, producing, and marketing mineral resources
profitably, especially in the segment dealing with coal production.”
The Business Problem: The
client is one of the fastest growing companies in the mining industry
and employs over 1500 professionals across various geographical
locations in the world. Their high annual spending on logistics and
sourcing activities compelled the client to leverage SpendEdge’s
expertise in setting up a strategic sourcing process. They wanted
to identify strategic sourcing best practices to streamline their supply
chain, warehouse management processes, and inbound and outbound
transportation functions. Moreover, they also wanted to develop robust
sourcing analysis capabilities across categories and geographies to
enhance their visibility into spending and boost savings.
The absence of a strategic sourcing process results in costly
errors and increases overall spending for companies in the mining
industry. To know how we can help mining companies to analyze risks,

sourcing best practices recommended by experts at SpendEdge helped
