About Amer Sports

Challenges
Amer Sports had ambitious growth goals, but outdated structures in indirect procurement slowed them down. To improve efficiency, these structures needed professionalisation. Objectives included:
- Lowering workload and accelerating sourcing processes
- Improve spend and supplier landscape transparency across global brands
- Decrease overall indirect spend
- Set up a guided sourcing process
“The simplicity of Mercanis has enabled us to integrate our stakeholders into the tendering process by using the platform as a self-service platform for smaller tendering projects. It also allowed us to take the procurement function in a more strategic direction without adding complexity for category experts.”
Sven Novak, Director of Global Indirect Procurement at Amer Sports Corporation
