## What the story says

Maxar uses Fairmarkit to run sourcing events for a wide range of items from many suppliers, replacing a manual process. The platform centralizes purchase data and gives visibility into sourcing event duration, supplier bidding, and where spend goes.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Fairmarkit and Maxar, not ours.

> Using Fairmarkit has resulted in more competition for each sourcing event, which Macfarlane says “saves an incredible amount of time and delivers real savings.”

- **$22M**: “$22M in new spend brought under management”

> At our fingertips we now have a wealth of knowledge—how long it takes when buyers send out RFQs, when companies are responding and how long it takes to complete a purchase; this knowledge vastly improves the procurement process and provides us will the ability not only to react tactically, but also to use that information strategically,
