Genpact Partners with Jaguar Land Rover to Optimize Their Procurement Processes

Genpact Limited (NYSE: G), a global leader in business process management and technology services, announces that it is partnering with Jaguar Land Rover to provide extensive business process management and analytics services to help optimize the British auto manufacturer’s procurement operations. Genpact is helping Jaguar Land Rover reduce costs, develop sourcing strategies and minimize the complexity associated with managing the large supply base that encompasses the company’s global operations. Genpact is also providing analytics and research support so that Jaguar Land Rover can further optimize its sourcing strategies and decisions.

Under the terms of the agreement, Genpact is managing Jaguar Land Rover’s end-to-end request for quotation (RFQ) process for their model launches and engineering changes, thereby enabling Jaguar Land Rover’s Purchasing staff to focus on strategic aspects of the business. Genpact will help Jaguar Land Rover standardize their RFQ process and also help scale its business in new and existing markets while ensuring efficiency and compliance.

Genpact is also providing extensive analytics and market research support to Jaguar Land Rover’s procurement functions, helping them to develop commodity sourcing strategies and roadmaps that will have a significant bottom line impact. Genpact’s Smart Decision Services business will apply its ‘Should Cost’ analytics framework to help Jaguar Land Rover identify immediate and long-term cost reduction and negotiation opportunities and strategies. Genpact has already successfully launched analytics projects for Jaguar Land Rover in production purchasing and is currently also planning projects in non-production purchasing.

“We are excited to apply our procurement expertise and deep analytical capabilities to Jaguar Land Rover’s operations,” said Patrick Cogny, senior vice president and business leader, Infrastructure, Manufacturing and Services at Genpact. “We combine these strengths to ensure that the right information is sourced, processed, and then injected into Jaguar Land Rover’s decision making process to make their operations adaptive to market conditions, globally competitive, and better connected with its supply base.”
