Procurement Transformation at C4 Therapeutics

This case study outlines the procurement transformation undertaken by C4 Therapeutics (C4T) in partnership with Prendio-BioProcure. The objective was to alleviate bandwidth constraints and enhance operational efficiency by addressing time-consuming compliance processes, limited visibility due to manual reporting, and slow vendor onboarding. The implemented solution included streamlined workflows, real-time dashboards, and integration with internal systems, which collectively improved visibility for leadership and reduced ordering delays. The results of this transformation were significant, yielding over $350,000 in cost savings and enabling faster purchasing cycles. Additionally, the new procurement model allowed C4T to centralize data and automate compliance, which reduced manual efforts and accelerated research initiatives. The case study highlights how the partnership with Prendio-BioProcure has allowed C4T to focus on critical priorities such as supplier selection and cost negotiations, ultimately supporting innovation at scale.
