Case Study: Tetra Pak achieves >95% material master data accuracy and improved procurement efficiency with Creactives

Data massive categorization using UNSPSC categorization system and TetraPak Material Group

TetraPak faced significant challenges with its material master data, including poor categorization accuracy of just 60%, inefficient procurement, unreliable reporting, and a minimal 5% adoption of UNSPSC codes. This complexity was heightened by managing 420,000 materials across five languages in a single ERP system. To address these inefficiencies, they partnered with the vendor Creactives.

Creactives implemented a master data solution, empowering TetraPak's MDG and Ariba S2P platforms. The solution massively improved data quality through attribute extraction, duplicate detection, and recategorization. The results were transformative: material categorization accuracy improved by 55% to over 95%, while UNSPSC completeness increased by 1,700%, enabling optimized sourcing and inventory processes for TetraPak.
