Confidential “Without sparesFinder’s tools we could never have achieved the savings that we have on a global scale. They combine ease of use with a high degree of sophistication, and reflect the deep level of MRO knowledge within the company. Our data cleansing project has resulted in far more efficient buying processes, higher levels of internal stock transfer, and significantly reduced duplication” John Vezey, BAT Global Spares Team. “Without sparesFinder’s tools we could never have achieved the savings that we have on a global scale.
