Case Study: Cargill achieves 844 hours per month in time savings with Alteryx

Cargill Saves 844 Hours Per Month with 3 Alteryx Users

Cargill, a global agribusiness, faced time-consuming, manual analytics across fragmented systems — from thousands of contracts and inventory forecasts to downtime data stored on separate facility servers and a legacy Access database with 275 queries. These processes slowed decision-making, required repeated manual extraction and refreshes, and made advanced analyses difficult or impossible for many users.

By standardizing workflows and Analytic Apps on the Alteryx platform and Alteryx Server, three Alteryx users automated daily jobs, scheduled refreshes, and delivered self-service data to Tableau and Power BI. The effort produced previously unattainable datasets, cut manual refreshes by 80%, reduced training time from three months to 30 minutes for a pricing analyst, and saved Cargill 844 hours per month (equivalent to about seven full-time employees), enabling faster, analytics-driven decisions.
