Case Study: SAPA achieves clear spend visibility with Corcentric

SAPA boosts spend visibility with Corcentric in 3 months, retrieving 98% of spend

SAPA, a global aluminum joint venture formed by Orkla and Hydro, faced a significant challenge in gaining spend visibility across its newly merged and highly decentralized organization. The company's legacy system was unable to provide the necessary ease of use or accommodate its new requirements. To address this, SAPA engaged vendor Corcentric for its Sourcing and Analytics technology and spend classification services.

Corcentric implemented a flexible, wave-based approach to handle data from SAPA's numerous global sites and ERP systems. This solution successfully captured and classified 98% of all spend, completing the project in three months, which was under budget and ahead of schedule. The results provided SAPA with vastly improved spend visibility, enabling 70+ users to access self-service reports and actively monitor purchasing and price development, ultimately improving upstream spend management efforts.
