A U.S.-based light-manufacturing enterprise operating multiple plants across the country faced a massive blind spot: nearly $100M in unmanaged tail spend, fragmented across 4,800 suppliers, buried in spot buys, and slipping through procurement controls. Teams were stretched thin. Tactical sourcing was overwhelmed. And with no appetite for an S2P platform, transformation felt out of reach.
To regain control without disrupting operations, the organization turned to Zycus Autonomous Negotiation (ANA) as an overlay activating AI-driven sourcing to reveal savings, consolidate suppliers, and guide buyers back to compliant paths.
