The document outlines the history of Fortlev, a Brazilian company that manufactures water storage tanks and other products. It was founded in the 1980s in Espírito Santo and has since expanded to six factories across Brazil. Through strategic sourcing initiatives, the company saved $100,000 in its first three months of using a new procurement tool in 2015. The tool helped streamline supplier registration and provided purchasing data in a centralized location.
