MVM: Streamlining the source-to-
contract process to maximize
procurement efficiency
MVM Group is a state-owned energy company and key player in the Hungarian energy
system, performing an important role in implementing the country’s strategic energy
goals. The company operates across 23 countries with more than 140 subsidiaries,
serving approximately 11 million household and business customers.
With its legacy procurement systems lacking the scale required to efficiently support its
growing operations, MVM assigned its IT subsidiary, MVMI Zrt., to automate the source-to-
contract process. Looking to adopt a strategic sourcing process within a single solution,
the company first evaluated market-leading offerings. It then sought expert assistance to
optimize the solution design and implement modern and integrated procurement
processes aligned to best practices.
