Sahara Kuwait is a world-class leisure center minutes away from Kuwait City that includes an award-winning golf resort and the Murouj Restaurant Village. To purchase essentials as quickly as possible for their state-of-the-art facilities, they partnered with Procurify.
The challenges
As one of Kuwait’s main leisure centers, Sahara Kuwait needed a sustainable way to manage hypergrowth. They were looking for a solution that could provide better spend visibility and control across multiple locations and departments, while mitigating long approval times and rogue spending.
-
Managing organizational growth: Their needs were outgrowing rudimentary procurement software; they needed a solution with department-specific budgets and flexible workflows to help standardize their processes.
-
Long approval times: Error-prone manual paperwork (getting quotes, preparing purchase requests) and disjointed multi-level approvals were resulting in a suboptimal requisition process that could take anywhere from a week to 10 days.
-
Rogue spending: With no visibility into organization-wide spend or budgets, certain requests were being processed even if budget was unavailable. Managers lacked the context they needed to make budget-informed decisions.
The solution
Sahara Kuwait partnered with Procurify to optimize their requisition process, drastically speeding up approval times and providing better spend visibility and control.
-
Huge cuts in approval times: Standardized processes helped speed up purchasing cycle times, even for multi-location approvals; a request that took a week to 10 days can now be completed in mere hours.
-
Real-time budget visibility: Management can now see the company’s budgets from one place, providing them with the centralized context they need to approve requests — eliminating rogue spending and ensuring more responsible spend decisions.
-
Operational efficiencies: Predictable workflows helped enforce responsible spend across the entire organization. Intuitive onboarding and an easy-to-use interface (desktop and mobile) help free up valuable time for employees to focus on what matters.
