PEC\u2019s paper and email processes, which were often circumvented by some departments because of their lack of efficiency and transparency, did not align with their goal to provide better service and strategic advice to their internal clients.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cPEC wanted to do more than simply standardize their procurement operations,\u201d said Omar Salaymeh, Chief Client and Product Officer at Bonfire. \u201cTo provide next-level support to the rest of their organization, PEC\u2019s procurement team needed a solution that would get quick and best-value results for their internal clients, without taking up too much of their time.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAfter adopting Bonfire in March 2020, the PEC procurement department was able to transition from in-person to fully-remote work within days. One year after implementing Bonfire\u2019s online bidding software, PEC not only saw 150% growth in the number of RFPs they\u2019ve been able to run, but also saw immediate process improvements. For instance, when PEC needed to award a contract before energy prices changed, their procurement team was able to send out confidential files to all approved vendors with Bonfire\u2019s Q&amp;A feature. Those efficiencies enabled the contract to be awarded by 10:00pm the same day.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cPEC\u2019s procurement processes were seen by the rest of the organization as burdened by red tape,\u201d said Salaymeh. \u201cBonfire introduced enhanced operational efficiency, improved visibility into the procurement pipeline, and a less demanding scoring process for evaluators. In my experience, organizations that are able to achieve similar levels of process improvements as PEC generate cost savings in the neighborhood of $225,000 per year.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nRead the full story on how PEC\u2019s procurement digital transformation led to better service for their internal clients and vendors <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fgobonfire.com%2Fclient-stories%2Fpec-sourcing-success-story%2F&amp;esheet=52395706&amp;newsitemid=20210315005266&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=here&amp;index=4&amp;md5=1d228775422ed40772459407f441751e\">here<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Bonfire Interactive Inc.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/b>Bonfire Interactive Inc.
