IQVIA adopts autonomous sourcing
to do more with less.

Goal

IQVIA, a health technology and clinical research leader with $15 billion revenue, needed to transform its procurement operating model and processes to meet the challenges of continuing to reduce costs and increase efficiencies, while also delivering more value to the wider business. 

Solution

To help achieve this, IQVIA adopted Globality’s AI-powered platform to support its ambition of delivering truly autonomous sourcing across the enterprise. In the past year, IQVIA employees ran more than 400 sourcing events worldwide with a spend value of $150M. Crucially to achieving its aim of implementing a new type of sourcing model, 70% of these events were business-led and more than 60% of projects took less than 45 minutes for users to scope.

Tesco transforms retail

Goal

For Tesco, improving management of its indirect spend was a natural way to stay ahead in the highly competitive European retail market, so they sought an autonomous, AI-driven solution to give them an advantage.

Solution

Tesco became the first multinational retailer in Europe to utilize Globality’s AI-enabled sourcing platform. Globality helped Tesco transform their procurement function and saw Glo adopted as a beloved virtual team member, guiding the buying process through intelligent, natural language interactions and enhancing sourcing quality and cost-effectiveness.

BT Group cuts costs and empowers its business stakeholders.

Goal

BT’s forward-looking procurement operation wanted to introduce self-serve technology to its sourcing process, lowering costs, simplifying the overall process, and making it more digital, sustainable, and value-creating.

Solution

In February 2021, Globality’s platform went live, introducing autonomous sourcing throughout BT’s operations.

Globality’s AI technology has enabled both BT Procurement team members and business end users to get what they need. With Glo’s help, self-serve users have been able to precisely scope requirements and avoid overbuying, and discover new suppliers in real time in addition to BT’s existing suppliers. 

Users also effectively collaborated with colleagues and suppliers and significantly reduce costs through increased competition, data-driven insights, and intelligent analysis
