Success story down arrow button

Challenges

The client is a leading pharmaceuticals provider. They had over 50 data sources representing spend payments with no ability to view company-wide spend without a tremendous amount of manual work. Inconsistencies in supplier name spellings across multiple ERP systems made it very manual and labor-intensive to capture total spend for a supplier. The client wanted the ability to track spend metrics by supplier and category over time, as well as the ability to analyze purchasing leverage based on the level of fragmentation in the supply base.

Solutions

ElectrifAi products executed the following for spend data across 50 data sources: Data Validation, Data Cleansing and Consolidation, Vendor Clustering and Parenting, Spend Classification, Application of Abbott Laboratories Feedback, Data Extraction and Delimited Text File Delivery.
