Like many sectors, housing organisations are under increasing pressure to deliver more with less. They’re expected to balance compliance, efficiency and value while managing complex supplier and contract landscapes. For Clarion Housing Group, modernising their procurement software was key to achieving this.
Before implementing Atamis, procurement activities at Clarion were fragmented across multiple systems, with manual processes creating inefficiencies and increasing the risk of error. Limited visibility of supplier and contract data made it difficult to generate reliable insights, track performance and support informed decision-making. The team needed a solution that could centralise data, improve collaboration and provide a single, trusted source of truth.

“Clarion is looking forward to a long, mutually beneficial relationship with Atamis. We expect to work together on future developments that drive real bottom line value to the organisation.” John Wallace, Director of Procurement, Clarion Housing
By implementing Atamis, Clarion has transformed how procurement operates across the organisation. Supplier onboarding is now more streamlined, reporting is more consistent and reliable and teams can access accurate data quickly. Integration with existing systems has unlocked new levels of insight, while improved visibility has strengthened both day-to-day operations and longer-term planning. The platform’s flexibility has also supported a broader cultural shift, enabling procurement to operate more strategically and collaboratively.
Looking ahead, Clarion is focused on driving more strategic procurement outcomes, from deeper data analysis and forecasting to enhanced supplier management and ongoing process improvement. Crucially, their tailored Atamis solution has not only addressed existing challenges but also uncovered new opportunities to refine processes and improve performance across the board.
