���㣨Leyu����������

���㣨Leyu���������� started by helping Kantar’s leadership articulate their strategy and value case through a series of workshops where managers and leaders shared their vision for the future of procurement. That led to a clear roadmap that the organisation could reference at every step of the journey. We then helped Kantar with their technology and solution selection process, bringing together stakeholders from across the business to develop the specific requirements.

Where ���㣨Leyu���������� made the greatest difference, however, was in their ability to use the global firm’s insight and tools to accelerate the development and delivery of the organisation’s new operating model. Leveraging ���㣨Leyu����������’s proprietary Powered Procurement offering, which provides clients with an out-of-the-box solution that can be quickly and easily fit to the business, ���㣨Leyu���������� rapidly rolled out the new solution in three waves across various global regions.

“The ���㣨Leyu���������� Powered methodology for our solution implementation was critical to us achieving our goals. It helped us standardise our ways of working and avoid expensive customisation whilst also proving the real-world value of the solution to the business. Powered allowed us to deploy our new solution at pace, using well-worked and proven design principles, so that we could focus on time to value.”��

With ���㣨Leyu����������’s support, Kantar has achieved some fantastic results. The business now boasts a cross-functional, end-to-end source to pay model that is truly fit for purpose. High levels of automation have reduced manual effort. Global businesses have harmonised around one S2P process. Contracts, orders and invoices are all linked up. Procurement now has the information it needs to actively address spend.

Kantar is now on track to achieve around US$22 million in cost savings as a result of the transformation programme �� equivalent to around 4 percent of their addressable spend. Operational costs have been slashed. And procurement professionals have been freed up to focus on more strategic and value-driving activities.

“���㣨Leyu���������� has been Kantar’s partner on our finance and procurement transformation journey since 2020. From design and development though to delivery support and implementation, the ���㣨Leyu���������� team has always given invaluable consulting support. We have moved from a business where every purchase invoice was manually processed with poor PO compliance levels, to instead become a business where, by the end of 2023, 95 percent of our invoicing will be electronic. The results have been rapid and impressive.��
