“Procurement capex is the biggest single cost element in SABMiller, some $US900-million a year, and the system can deliver on average a 3% saving on total project cost. We also quantified and measured productivity improvements and we can reach process improvements of 300%.”

"This tender, bid and contract management system is unique in that, for the first time, vendors are being invited to tender live on the system"

"iSpec has highlighted weaknesses that existed in our processes as well as our people. Using iSpec now helps us augment tendering and contract management skills in many of our business units"

“…we as Hyster find the system ideal for its capabilities to communicate while tendering, the clear format and the easy way to add our responses. We truly think that this system will become a trend, which many companies will follow.

“Standardization of contracts and specifications (using iSpec©) has lead to lower prices in general (3% on large projects). Business units not using iSpec are paying higher prices. (1 general case > 20%).”

“With improved visibility and a bit more time spent on negotiations we have saved in virtually ZERO amendments to contracts after awarding.”

“Our vendors have significantly reduced their average cost of $75,000 per bid on our more complex tenders.”

"Everything you said would happen happened, functionality promised is exactly what we received, everything happened when you said it would and everything happened within budget we set for the project."

“Transparency, traceability and keeping the communication/negotiations together are a huge benefit for both parties…"

"The only reason that we can manage so many projects so effectively is because the negotiations and communications are recorded against each item/Clause for anybody to read and see what has been discussed/negotiated."
