Unprecedented advancements in technology have forced mining equipment manufacturers to look for new ways to leverage new technologies to remain innovative and agile in a changing market. They are facing a plethora of challenges such as health and safety issues, access to capital, volatility in commodity prices, environmental footprint, market volatility, and weak global demands. These challenges are causing disruptions in commodity prices and forcing mining equipment manufacturers to close down operations and reduce the size of their workforce. Moreover, factors such as volatile commodity prices are making it extremely difficult for mining equipment manufacturers to plan income and, therefore, expenditures and are forcing them to improve their procurement spend management.

According to the procurement experts at SpendEdge, “Companies in the mining equipment industry need to leverage spend management solutions and focus on cost savings as they go beyond procurement, requiring business units and finance departments to align around spend categories."

The Business Problem: The client is among the largest diversified mining companies that specializes in the exploration, development, processing, smelting, and refining of metallurgical coal, copper and zinc. Despite owning 13 mines throughout Canada, the US, Chile, and Peru, the client was facing challenges in managing spend due to the fluctuating commodity prices. They were heavily dependent on commodity price forecasts to make major strategic decisions. This resulted in the shutdown of many operations in various sections, compelling the mining equipment manufacturer to make serious cuts in the size of their workforce. Moreover, the declining profit margins in the mining industry forced the client to leverage SpendEdge's procurement spend management solutions to manage the overall spend of the company.
