Unifi reduced costs and improved purchasing compliance by implementing a Private Marketplace from Raiven  

The Situation: 

Unifi (formerly Delta Global Services) needed a partner to consolidate suppliers, reduce rogue/maverick spend, increase compliance, integrate with Oracle and reduce their overall procurement costs.

The Challenge:   

• Unifi is the largest Aviation Services company in North America.
• $700M in revenue, 19,000 employees, 200+ ship-to locations.
• Ramp/passenger handling, cabin/cargo services, aircraft ground support, security, skycap services, flight control, and facilities/janitorial.

The Solution: 

• Unifi joined Raiven’s group purchasing program.
• Raiven built a Private Marketplace, including our suppliers and select Unifi suppliers.
• We integrated with their ERP provider Oracle.
• Unifi received deeper discounts from our supplier programs w/less suppliers to manage.
• Trained over 300 buyers nationally to ensure compliance.

The Results: 

• Centralized single Unifi Marketplace that all 300+ buyers use to procure products.
• Substantially reduced their product costs and purchasing costs
• Consolidated suppliers with less resources needed to manage them
• Rogue spend reduction pushes purchases to lower priced preferred suppliers.
• Less invoices to cut, no audits to conduct.
• Oracle integration increases efficiency and saves time – especially in soft costs.
