Case Study: Global Energy Management Company achieves 5% annual savings and identifies 100,000 redundant POs with Infor Birst

Global Energy Management Company - Customer Case Study

A global energy management company operating in 100+ countries—offering solar storage, industrial and grid automation, and residential solutions—faced fractured data after rapid M&A growth. Purchasing data was siloed across more than 200 ERP systems, preventing a holistic view of spend and visibility into procurement analytics.

Using Birst’s cloud BI platform, the company built a Global Analytics Platform that consolidated $10B in spend, enabled governed self-service, and supported rapid deployment across a highly complex ERP landscape. The solution went live in under two months, identified 100,000 redundant purchase orders, and delivered roughly 5% annual savings in direct and indirect materials — about $500M per year.
