TIMISOARA, Romania--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Smart Cube, an award-winning global provider of research and analytics solutions, tomorrow celebrates the 10-year anniversary of its operations in Timisoara, Romania.
From a handful of people a decade ago, headcount has grown 10% year-on-year, to create a specialist team which supports the company’s international client base with three distinct cross-sector capabilities:
- A dedicated procurement technology team, which provides managed services for the most sophisticated procurement tools and platforms, which many organisations struggle to manage in-house; the team has executed over 200 sourcing events and e-auctions, delivering savings worth over $550 million to its clients, and supported the digital agenda which is a priority for many CPOs
- The advanced analytics team, with a focus on providing data-driven decision-making support for supply chain and procurement, has been instrumental in developing proof of concepts and accelerators for clients; through automation and smart analytics, the team enables organisations to gain greater visibility into business performance, identify cost savings, and improve the bottom line by up to 3%
- A strategic research team, specialising in providing tailored intelligence and insights to address today’s procurement challenges and enable category teams to make more informed decisions.
Around 10% of Romanian employees work onsite with Western European clients, providing on-the-ground, real-time support, and a seamless extension of in-house teams. The opportunities to work in international locations, and across a range of blue-chip clients, have proven to be strong attractions for new recruits. The Smart Cube has relationships and engagement programmes with major universities in the region, which help to inform and attract potential employees.
Dorin Stratan, Country Manager, The Smart Cube, commented: “It has been a real pleasure to lead the growth of The Smart Cube in Romania, and to build our reputation as an employer of choice in the region. We chose Timisoara because of its strong universities and multi-lingual workforce, and these factors have helped us to develop a team of first-class specialists delivering invaluable strategic support to our global clients.”
Gautam Singh, CEO and Co-Founder, The Smart Cube added: “I am very proud of how we have developed our Romania operations over the last decade. The team plays a strong role in providing our clients with a truly connected approach to organisational intelligence. We are now focused on leveraging the specialist skills and capabilities for our new solutions, tailored to address sector-specific business challenges.”
