Aggreko plc is the global leader in rental power and temperature control systems. With over 100 locations across more than 30 countries. Aggreko supplies to a number of sectors including the Construction, Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, Facilities Management and Events industry, amongst many others.
Market Dojo have had a long-standing relationship with Aggreko who have adopted both Sourcing Dojo and SIM Dojo.
SIM Dojo
During 2019, Aggreko partnered with Market Dojo to further develop Market Dojo’s existing supplier onboarding tool, SIM Dojo. This joint project aimed to evolve SIM Dojo into an extensive dynamic supplier onboarding solution to fit Aggreko’s complex needs.
Unlike many processes, SIM Dojo automatically tailors the onboarding process determined by a weighted risk profile of the supplier. For large supply chains, having a dynamic process that allows users to focus on high risk categories has a huge impact. Using the same logic, the solution automatically determines the appropriate local and central approval workflow (from 100 different options) that is required to vet the supplier. The solution even has built-in escalation workflows should any given approver request their line manager to step in.
Given the extent of this project, and its complexity, the benefits were evident in a relatively short amount of time. Aggreko is now able to onboard new suppliers within two days in most cases and, for more complex suppliers, no more than 20 days.
“Within months, we migrated 8,500 existing suppliers and onboarded 3,000 new ones. We also migrated 55,000 documents which provided comfort to stakeholders in knowing that they hadn’t lost the last four years of work.”
On average, this is a 70% reduction in time spent onboarding suppliers evidenced in their responsive, accurate reporting dashboards, powered by Microsoft PowerBI via an API. The data is augmented with other critical information—another neat win!

Sourcing Dojo
Market Dojo’s solution, Sourcing Dojo, functions as a freight eMarketplace for Aggreko, allowing Aggreko to centralise their North American long-haul freight needs onto a single cloud solution that is accessible by their procurement team anywhere in the world.
The system offers Aggreko the ability to use a variety of eAuction types in collaboration with their integrated supplier list, providing suppliers with an easy to use tool that allows them to bid for individual transportation deliveries across America. The Freight eMarketplace is now being rolled out globally having produced significant savings through greater visibility on their transportation spend to their central procurement team.
“By using Market Dojo we have seen definite success with tremendous savings produced as a result. Significantly the system has allowed our central team to capture and relay the data on a large scale through an easy to manage system.It’s clear now that we will always be using a form of Sourcing Dojo’s eAuction, as the success that we have had has far exceeded any negatives and hopefully with time we can continue to streamline the process and adopt the process on an even larger scale.” – Chad Thibodeaux, Central Logistics Manager for Aggreko North America Division.”
