How Procurement Garage transformed client skill evaluation with Testlify

The problem with “good enough” tools

Founded in 2014 and headquartered across Brazil and Latin America, Procurement Garage has built a reputation as a go-to consulting firm for procurement, vendor management, and operational excellence. With clients like Coca-Cola, P&G, Nexa, OLX, and Ferrero, the firm evaluates thousands of team members each year, assessing skill levels, identifying development gaps, and recommending training paths.

But for years, those assessments ran on Google Forms and Microsoft Forms. The process was manual, the question structures inconsistent, and the data nearly impossible to consolidate across clients. Each engagement looked different from the last. For a firm positioning itself as a data-driven consultancy, the gap between reputation and reality was hard to ignore.

Two problems, one platform

When Procurement Garage began evaluating assessment platforms, the requirements were clear: consistency across 2,500+ companies served annually, and a tool credible enough to stand up in front of enterprise clients. The team needed something that could handle domain-specific hard skill evaluation alongside behavioral and soft skill profiling, all in one place, without months of setup per client.

Testlify fit. The platform offered a pre-built question library for soft skills and personality assessments, alongside the flexibility to upload proprietary, domain-specific questions for procurement, operations, and management roles. Critically, Testlify’s team offered the kind of responsiveness that a fast-moving consulting firm needed like custom modifications turned around immediately.

“Whatever changes we need, Testlify’s team provides them immediately, which has helped us a lot. Since using Testlify, our assessments have become more standardized and data-backed. It’s helped our clients see us as more professional and process-driven.”

Building a scalable evaluation framework

Procurement Garage now uses Testlify to assess 2,000–3,000 individuals per year across client organizations. The workflow is structured but flexible: hard skill assessments use a curated library of domain-specific questions built by the Procurement Garage team, while soft skill and behavioral evaluation relies on Testlify’s personality testing suite. Each client engagement is tailored with difficulty levels, question types, and evaluation criteria adjusted to role and industry without sacrificing the standardization that makes results comparable across teams.

companies served per year

Visual, evidence-based reports give Procurement Garage clients a clear picture of team strengths, skill gaps, and upskilling priorities replacing informal impressions with structured data.

From process credibility to client perception

The shift wasn’t just operational. Moving to a standardized, automated platform changed how Procurement Garage was perceived. Clients who had previously received loosely formatted spreadsheets now received polished, visual reports. The consistency of the assessment framework gave the firm a defensible methodology one they could articulate and stand behind in enterprise conversations.

Procurement Garage has completed a 100% transition away from manual tools. Every client assessment now runs through Testlify, with faster turnaround, richer insight, and a professional presentation that reinforces the firm’s positioning as a modern, insights-led partner.
