Benefit case study: Scanmarket by Unit4 enables $25M in savings

A global aftermarket parts manufacturer and distributor deployed Scanmarket by Unit4 to regain control over sourcing and contract management in a highly decentralized, acquisition-driven organization. Operating across multiple regions and systems, the manufacturer lacked enterprise visibility into spend, contracts, and supplier terms, limiting negotiation leverage and governance. By implementing Scanmarket’s eRFX and contract repository as a source-to-contract layer above its existing environment, the organization shifted from fragmented, business-unit-level buying to coordinated enterprise sourcing. Using Scanmarket to rebid major logistics categories and consolidate supplier negotiations, the company realized $25M in savings in its first sourcing phase, while also strengthening contract governance through centralized repositories, approval matrices, and integrated e-signature workflows. Although not all efficiency gains were formally quantified, leadership indicated the solution paid for itself within a year through a combination of hard savings, improved visibility, and stronger procurement control, establishing a scalable foundation for continued sourcing maturity and broader regional rollout.
