Peab chooses OpusCapita as a partner to coordinate and digitalize all of the company’s purchasing
Helsinki – 28. August 2019: OpusCapita, one of Europe’s leading Source-To-Pay suppliers, has signed an agreement with Peab, for implementing a company-wide e-procurement solution. The solution will allow Peab to optimize all its purchasing for the company’s four business units. The investment is an important step in Peab’s digitalization strategy. It will increase efficiency, optimize supplier collaboration and help to position Peab as a modern and attractive employer for the younger generation.
Peab is a Nordic Community Builder with approximately 15,000 employees and net sales of approximately SEK 53 billion. Peab kicked off an internal project two years ago to consolidate all purchasing for the company’s four business units. The aim was to review all existing processes and to implement a modern digital procurement solution with support for frame agreements and blanket orders.
Three of the four business units have taken part in the process to secure a broad consensus internally, and initially, eight suppliers were invited to answer Peab’s request for information.
“The choice to partner with OpusCapita was primarily due to three significant factors;
- OpusCapita’s solution is recognized internationally which ensures a future-proof solution.
- OpusCapita is a Nordic company, and they understand and match Peab’s nordic culture.
- The team from OpusCapita was very professional, and they showed time and time again that they had a perfect understanding of Peab’s unique needs. They customized demos to show examples from our daily life, and by doing that you won the trust of Peab’s stakeholders” says Robert Liljeblad, Head of Procurement and Supply Chain Management, Peab AB.
“We are very pleased that Peab chose to partner with OpusCapita, and we look forward to working together with Peab. OpusCapita’s strategy is to co-develop our products with our customers, and I’m convinced that working with Peab will give us new insights that will help to evolve our products further” says Charlotte Mattsson, Country Manager Scandinavia, OpusCapita.
