The challenge
Relying on large teams for supplier negotiations led to missed savings opportunities, inconsistent processes and slow procurement cycles.
With procurement spread across multiple regions, the client struggled to apply negotiation best practice consistently and capture value at scale. Without integrated analytics and automation, savings were left on the table, decisions slowed, and working capital stayed tied up.
What Roboyo built
An AI-powered Smart Negotiation Engine, combining advanced analytics, autonomous negotiation workflows and ERP integration. It automates each stage of the negotiation journey:
- Real-time quote analysis and adaptive price negotiation, within predefined rules
- Automated data flow into ERP systems, removing manual bottlenecks
- Deployed globally within 3 months, with change management and enablement for team adoption
The result
A shift in how procurement decisions are made: the tools, data and automation to negotiate with precision, scale across global teams, and build resilience into procurement.
- ~€3.6M in cost savings
- Break-even in 3 months
- Reduced FTE requirements in negotiation teams
- Better cash flow and working capital
- Standardized, analytics-driven negotiation, and stronger supplier relationships through faster, more consistent negotiations
Roboyo's Smart Negotiation Engine transformed how we engage with suppliers, whilst delivering both cost savings and agility across our global procurement operations.
