Use Case: Shorten RFQ-to-PO Cycle for Home & Living
Client Challenge
The sourcing team managed high RFQ volume manually. Requirement interpretation varied across members, supplier comparison was slow, and decision cycles frequently slipped.
What Ease Sourcing Implemented
- Unified RFQ requirement template for cross-team consistency
- Automated supplier-fit scoring before commercial negotiation
- Parallel normalization of quote, MOQ, lead-time, and risk notes
- Decision dashboard with launch/no-launch recommendation
Results in 60 Days
- RFQ-to-PO cycle time: -31%
- Shortlist accuracy (supplier fit in first round): +37%
- Internal review meeting time: -26%
Why It Worked
Speed improved because the team standardized inputs and moved filtering earlier. Better first-round supplier quality meant fewer rework loops before PO release.
