Aftermarket Automotive Filter Manufacturer Achieves 24% Cost Reduction on Packaging with Procure Analytics

The RFP Wasn’t the Answer

An aftermarket automotive filter manufacturer producing a a wide range of products across automotive, heavy-duty, power sports, and specialty automotive application wanted to save on their packaging spend.

First they engaged a consulting firm to conduct a traditional RFP process. That identified a 6% cost reduction.

Eager to explore additional savings opportunities, they turned to Procure Analytics for a comprehensive review.

This streamlined process saved time and uncovered opportunities for significantly deeper cost reductions.

By combining industry expertise, strong supplier partnerships, and a highly efficient review process, PA delivered savings that went beyond what traditional RFPs typically achieve — in a fraction of the time.

Delivering 24% Cost Savings

Procure Analytics delivered 24% cost savings, far surpassing the 6% achieved through the RFP process.
