Modine Selects Zycus as Partner in Global Procurement Transformation Initiative



    Zycus Inc., a global leader in Spend Management software
    solutions, today announced that it has been selected by Modine
    Manufacturing Company , a diversified leader in thermal management
    technology and solutions, for its Global Spend Analysis project which
    is part of their Global Procurement Transformation Initiative. The
    Spend Analysis project encompasses spend across North America, South
    America, Europe and Asia operations.

    Zycus´ Actionable Spend Analysis solution will replace Modine´s
    homegrown Spend Analysis tool and provide a robust end-to-end
    analytics solution that leverages multilingual classification
    capabilities to ensure granularity and consistency in enrichment and
    classification.

    "Zycus´ Actionable Spend Analysis has been implemented at over 100
    Global 1000 companies. However, Modine is an extremely important
    project as we will be part of a Global Procurement Transformation
    exercise spanning 40 facilities across the globe", said Aatish Dedhia,
    CEO of Zycus Inc. "Zycus´ Spend Management Solutions will help Modine
    identify, manage and track savings opportunities through an intuitive
    and objective driven process ensuring greater visibility, process
    planning and control resulting in sustainable savings", he added.

    Greg Kinder, VP of Global Purchasing, Modine noted, "Zycus brought
    a distinct advantage to the project due to its inherent strengths in
    spend analysis and data classification across languages. This
    initiative is part of our five year Procurement Transformation
    initiative with multi-year global savings targets."

    Yomi Famurewa, CIO, Modine said, "Zycus was a natural selection as
    it offered a robust tried and tested solution that offers excellent
    spend visibility extending to line item level."

    With the easy to use Zycus Actionable Spend Analysis tool,
    Modine´s sourcing leadership will now be able to review, approve and
    prioritize saving opportunities based on facts and figures, thus
    creating a funnel of savings activities through a collaborative and
    transparent process. The tool ensures that savings identification is a
    repeatable, sustainable process through features such as the
    Opportunity Pipeline Manager.

    Innovative facets of the Opportunity Finder enable commodity
    managers to identify and realize more savings while Modine´s sourcing
    leadership is now empowered to create and manage a continuous pipeline
    of opportunities to meet savings targets. This is comparable to sales
    leadership creating and managing a prospect pipeline to meet revenue
    targets. The project also involves data cleansing, enriching, and
    hosting of the data for the analysis application.

    Zycus has recently announced the launch of its Strategic Sourcing
    suite that addresses the entire process of analysis, planning,
    supplier evaluation and negotiations. Zycus´ new solution empowers
    rapid user adoption resulting in sustained savings through extremely
    easy to use software that automates the entire strategic sourcing
    process.
