Background


Our client is an instrumental financial institution in the US mortgage market. It facilitates access to home ownership by guaranteeing and purchasing mortgages, enabling lenders to free up funds for new loans.

It’s with this key role that the institution contributes to the stability of the real estate market and the affordability of housing for countless individuals.

 

Solution deployed


The Ivalua platform offers a robust solution for data processing and interactive analytical visualization tools.

The result is a focused, user-friendly dashboard offering a real-time, unified view of purchasing process metrics (from contract to spend management, supplier performance and more) with the ability to shift views from measures in reports to more granular transactional data.

Integration


OJC built a series of enhanced KPI and PBI charts by configuring specific dimensions, measures and indicators in the Ivalua solution.

Our client can now immediately access a global view of its purchasing and make informed, timely decisions based on reliable contract management, spend, and supplier data. This integration has completely elevated overall procurement management. Collaboration between OJC and the client, supported by continuous feedback, led to a well-executed, successful implementation.
