The latter half of 2021 was certainly another one of savings. Amid supply chain challenges, e-auctions proved to be an essential avenue of profit protection and supply security as vendor bases became more diverse, with increased pricing competition. 

Overall, Q3 2021 saw an average 3.3% in savings verses current market price across the top-used categories. Alongside already stressed production lines, many Scanmarket customers were forced to broaden their supplier base and adopt e-auctions in an effort to keep prices as low as possible. This shift in practice resulted in a 100% increase in the number of e-auctions performed during Q3 when compared to that of 2020, which was already a record-breaking year. 

Despite the challenges the pandemic created for companies around the globe, tensions were eased with the help of e-auctions, and will likely continue to combat future uncertainties as a solidly implemented, permanent fixture in the modern procurement department's processes.
