“By implementing an integrated international purchasing system we are assuring that Leggett & Platt is maximizing its efforts to conduct its international procurement activities in a compliant manner.”

Wally Krey, President, Leggett & Platt Global Services

Leggett & Platt is a Fortune 500 diversified manufacturer of engineered components and products.  As part of an initiative to centralize its global procurement operations, the company needed a way to effectively manage its importing process and reduce procurement costs while enabling real-time collaboration with its global suppliers.

Leggett & Platt integrated Management Dynamics’ Trade Import solution into its enterprise procurement software in order to capture and review a complete audit trail of all import transaction activities from pre-entry to Customs to post-entry.  The Web-based system also provides Leggett & Platt's leading broker, AN Deringer, with pre-validated entry data and automatic shipping documentation for its network of global suppliers and carriers.
