Case Study: BorgWarner achieves €10M+ in synergies with Creactives spend analytics

BorgWarner identifies €10M+ in synergies with Creactives

BorgWarner faced significant challenges when merging with Delphi, creating a combined entity with over €2 billion in annual spend across 26 countries. The primary hurdles included a lack of spend transparency due to four different SAP systems, inconsistent categorization, fragmented supplier data, and language barriers across 1.8 million purchase order and invoice lines. To address this, they turned to the vendor Creactives for an AI-powered spend analytics solution.

Creactives implemented a solution that built connected Semantic Digital Twins of the spend data, creating a single source of truth. This allowed BorgWarner to merge and categorize the data from both organizations with 95% accuracy onto a shared taxonomy. The results were a globally standardized spend reporting dashboard and the enablement of global category management. Creactives' work helped identify over €10 million in synergies within the first 12 months.
