About Amer Sports:
Amer Sports is a group of renowned brands like Arc'teryx, Salomon, Wilson, Peak Performance, Atomic, and more. Their high-quality equipment is appreciated and used worldwide, whether on the field, slopes, in the city, or mountains.
Challenges:
Amer Sports had ambitious growth goals, but outdated structures in indirect procurement slowed them down. To enhance efficiency, these structures needed professionalization. Objectives included:
- Lowering workload and accelerating sourcing processes
- Improve spend and supplier landscape transparency across global brands
- Decrease overall indirect spend
- Set up 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 solution 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
