Canada's Federated Co-operatives Ltd. (FCL) Goes Live with Ivalua's Source-to-Contract (S2C) Solution with Seamless Integration to TealBook's AI-powered Supplier Data Foundation

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Dec. 21, 2021 /CNW/ -- Ivalua, a leading provider of global Spend Management Cloud solutions, today announced that Canada's largest co-operative, Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL), has gone live with its source-to-contract solution which includes a seamless integration to TealBook, the leading supplier data foundation. The project has been delivered in partnership with Optis Consulting, a leading Source-to-Pay consultancy.

Together with its strategic partner Optis Consulting, Ivalua's solution has digitally enabled FCL's policies and processes for core procurement activities, including sourcing and contract management. As a center-led procurement function FCL used Ivalua's solution to enable non-procurement professionals within various different business sectors to conduct sourcing activities in accordance with FCL's procurement governance. It also increased the efficiency and speed to market for all sourcing users, while providing visibility and ability for procurement professionals in the center-led procurement team to provide strategic support.

"We'd like to thank FCL for their trust and our partners for a rapid deployment of this innovative solution that helps avoid supply disruptions in times of crisis, improve the quality and efficiency of savings from strategic sourcing, but also drives supplier innovation and enhances ESG programs," said Dan Amzallag, Ivalua's COO.
