A global distributor managing 10,000+ monthly price updates automated their full distribution spend process using Series Requests. After awarding through large-scale RFX, 180+ Series were launched to ensure suppliers submitted monthly updates. PINPOOLS automatically updated outline agreements in SAP unless deviations exceeded +1%. Benchmarks were embedded into the Series for real-time market comparison. Buyers only intervened when thresholds were exceeded, significantly reducing admin time.

We have customers uploading several thousand items into the savings tracker to continuously monitor price movements against market benchmarks. The system highlights potential savings, proposes qualified suppliers, and allows users to create new sourcing events directly from those insights. Buyers define their notification frequency and savings thresholds, enabling the tool to alert them to actionable opportunities automatically. Procurement teams use this to stay ahead of market shifts and optimize category spend at scale — without manually reviewing thousands of graphs. Combined with ERP integration, this creates a closed loop where benchmark insights directly trigger sourcing actions, ensuring continuous savings realization and control over total spend.
