LittleBig Connection gave us the opportunity to grow our panel of 30 suppliers to cover 100% of our needs in Nice R&D site, allowing us to position ourselves more strongly in the market. All this without the additional management burden
What were the solution’s objectives?
Streamline
the sourcing process
Provide greater flexibility
for managing external resources
Rationalize
processes using a digital tool
“Digitizing our intellectual service procurement cycle has made our processes more efficient and thus increased our productivity”.
A digital tool to optimize the panel
“In the past, it was difficult to manage several suppliers at the same time, that’s why we had a restricted panel of about ten suppliers that met most of our needs.
By choosing LittleBig Connection, we had the opportunity to expand this panel, while minimizing management related complexities.
Today we are able to submit RFPs to a wider panel in one click, with greater visibility on cost, quality and performance. All vendors receive equal consideration. We have put in place a real strategy.
In addition, keeping track of all tenders issued digitally helps us be more secure and time efficient”.
