Rhenus Logistics operates in over 15 European countries with locally managed equipment procurement. This decentralized approach created challenges:
- Inconsistent equipment types across facilities
- Lost volume discount opportunities
- Difficulty training staff on varied equipment
- Complex spare parts management
- No centralized visibility into total fleet

LayTech.ai implemented a pan-European procurement transformation:
Fleet Standardization We helped define standard equipment specifications that would work across all European operations.
Central Visibility Our platform provided complete visibility into equipment across all countries and facilities.
Coordinated Procurement RFQs were consolidated across countries, maximizing volume leverage with suppliers.
Maintenance Optimization Standardized equipment enabled consolidated spare parts agreements and training programs.

- 38% cost reduction through volume consolidation
- 65% faster procurement process
- 41 preferred suppliers across Europe
- Standardized fleet improving operational efficiency
- Centralized spare parts reducing inventory costs
"We went from 15 different procurement approaches to one unified strategy. The savings and efficiency gains exceeded our expectations."
