Improving Procurement Processes at Aurorium

Industry
Chemical Manufacturing
Challenge
Aurorium struggled with fragmented spend visibility and manual procurement processes across their global operations. Their reliance on blanket purchase orders made spend difficult to track and control. Long order cycles, poor supplier catalog integration, and manual processing meant buyers spent excessive time on operational tasks instead of strategic initiatives.
Results
Vroozi's platform has streamlined Aurorium's procurement with mobile approvals, automated processes, and real-time data, enabling better spend analysis, supplier management, and increased savings.

About Aurorium
Aurorium is a specialty chemicals company that creates key ingredients used in pharmaceuticals, personal care, nutrition, agriculture, and other markets focused on "green" technologies and chemistries. The company operates across multiple regions including the US, UK, and India.The Challenge
Prior to implementing Vroozi, Aurorium's procurement processes were highly inefficient. The company relied on basic ERP systems that offered minimal automation and poor spend visibility. Their procurement challenges included ad hoc savings, unmanageable tail spend, incorrect categorization, and lengthy approval processes. The prevalence of blanket purchase orders made spend tracking particularly difficult, while disconnected supplier catalogs led to inaccurate orders and manual processing requirements.
The Solution
Aurorium implemented Vroozi Purchase across their operations in the US, UK, and India. The solution digitized purchasing transactions, automated order creation, and provided a digital marketplace for connecting with supplier catalogs. The platform's mobile capabilities enabled approvals from anywhere, while its user-friendly interface reduced training requirements and increased adoption. The implementation focused on streamlining processes and improving spend visibility across all regions.
The Results
The implementation of Vroozi's platform has delivered significant improvements to Aurorium's procurement operations. The company achieved instant mobile approvals, better supplier base rationalization, and minimized tail spend transactions. Line-item visibility and automatic categorization have enhanced spend analysis capabilities, while automated order creation has freed buyers to focus on developing long-term strategies. The platform's real-time data access has enabled better spend analysis and decision-making, leading to improved savings across the organization.
