Challenges
Tackling procurement challenges in the food & beverage industry
Procurement in food and beverage is more complex than ever, with rising costs, sustainability demands, and fragmented data. Ignite brings your data and tools into one place, giving you a clear view of spend, suppliers, risks, and more, so you can stay in control.
Lack of insight at item or product level
Tracking price developments and comparing suppliers is challenging without detailed item or product level data, leading to missed cost-saving opportunities.
Fragmented data across plants and brands
With data scattered across multiple plants, brands, and ERP systems, it’s hard to get a clear overview of your spending and supplier information.
High pressure on margins
Low margins and tough supplier negotiations make precise data and insights critical for finding cost-saving opportunities and staying competitive.
Scattered emissions data
Data scattered across various systems makes calculating and reporting scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions hard. It complicates your efforts to comply with legislation, reduce emissions, and hit sustainability targets.

Customer success story
How Stena Metall gained full control of spend with Ignite
Discover how Stena Metall used Ignite to gain full control over spend, improve contract compliance, and drive strategic decision-making across the organization.
Stena Metall
Founded in 1939, Stena Metall grew from a local scrap dealer in Gothenburg, Sweden, into a global leader in the circular economy.
With operations in 9 countries, over 4,300 employees, and a wide range of offerings that span resource management, recycling, steel production, and more, managing procurement on such a large scale brought several challenges.
The company relied on a static database for managing spend. This made it difficult to dive deep into their data and connect it with other key areas, like contracts, supplier assessments, and financial information.
Learn how Stena Metall brought their data together to make it easier to manage and act on with Ignite.

"We no longer have to sift through static reports. Ignite dynamically displays updated spend data tailored to each situation. Whether we’re preparing for a supplier evaluation or managing a category, Ignite helps us find and display the data in a way that drives better results.”
