Case Study: Credit Suisse achieves detailed spend visibility and cost-saving opportunities with Bristlecone

Helping Credit Suisse Integrate Data and Streamline ts Procurement Processes

Credit Suisse, the Switzerland-based multinational financial services company, needed better organization-wide spend visibility and more reliable reporting across its investment banking, private banking, asset management, and shared services divisions. The firm was challenged by data from multiple systems, low spend-data credibility, duplicate vendors, and the need for a highly customized dashboard delivered quickly. Bristlecone supported Credit Suisse with spend data enrichment and a customized reporting solution using NetDiver DI.

Bristlecone implemented data classification, supplier enrichment, automation rules, and a tailored dashboard to improve reporting and analysis. The solution delivered multi-dimensional spend reports, improved compliance monitoring, helped protect negotiated savings, uncovered non-compliance risks, and identified cost-saving opportunities. Bristlecone also enabled better visibility into supplier and material spend, helping Credit Suisse optimize its supplier base through analytical workbench insights.
