Newell Rubbermaid Utilizes Spend Analysis
Newell Rubbermaid utilizes services from Bristlecone to implement the SAP BusinessObjects Spend Performance Management application. The deployment, which addresses Newell Rubbermaid's global spend spread across its supply base, is expected to provide Newell Rubbermaid clear visibility into its spend patterns and provide its sourcing community with a consolidated view of data. This solution aims to enable Newell Rubbermaid to achieve lower costs through better visibility into spend activities as well as leverage its purchasing power, increase operational and manufacturing efficiencies, and enhance supplier relationships.
"This deployment has given us visibility into our spend-analysis process across the entire company and tremendously increased user acceptance in our sourcing and procurement community," says Mike Corriveau, vice president of Indirect Sourcing and vice president of Program Management Office, Newell Rubbermaid. "It has helped us to achieve our goals of balancing costs, identifying hidden savings and supplier risk factors, as well as rationalizing our supply base. We selected Bristlecone as our provider based on their combination of deep understanding of spend management processes, as well as functional, project management and technical expertise in SAP BusinessObjects Spend Performance Management. They were very responsive to our specific needs and helped us work through a tight implementation timeline."
Newell Rubbermaid leveraged Bristlecone with the entire spend analysis process to implement the SAP BusinessObjects Spend Performance Management application and integrate the results from spend analysis into its global and centralized sourcing process.
