Optimising purchasing to drive growth
Customer description, an S2C solution
Milence is dedicated to making the future of road transport fossil-free. To realise this vision, Milence is building a reliable charging network for all battery-electric heavy-duty trucks. Established in July 2022 as a joint venture between Daimler Truck, the TRATON GROUP, and the Volvo Group, Milence operates as an independent, stand-alone company and is rapidly expanding its network to ensure that heavy-duty electric vehicles can operate seamlessly across the continent, supporting the transition to a sustainable and efficient transport system.
To support its ambitious expansion, Milence is strengthening its procurement capabilities. As part of this effort, it has selected Ivalua’s Source-to-Contract (S2C) solution, with implementation led by Cyrias. Their ability to rapidly deploy tailored procurement modules made them the ideal partner for this next growth phase. Together, Milence and Cyrias are ensuring that procurement processes keep pace with the company’s dynamic scale-up, delivering efficiency, transparency, and a fast return on investment.
Customer challenges
Milence needed to anticipate its growth and establish the foundations of its procurement information system. The goal was to secure and track tenders while implementing structured procurement processes internally.
By leveraging Ivalua, users now have access to modules and features that enable seamless collaboration with suppliers throughout the bidding process.
All supplier data is now centralized within the Ivalua platform, allowing Milence to manage its entire procurement function from a single application. This deployment streamlines the management of tenders and contracts while ensuring complete traceability of the entire upstream procurement process
