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.
