Case Study: MT Aerospace achieves full spend transparency with Creactives

Improving Spend Visibility and prevent errors in material creation and categorization

MT Aerospace, a manufacturer operating across 33 countries, was facing significant challenges with its spend data. The company had over 300,000 line items and more than €500 million in annual spend, but its material group structure had low granularity and categorization accuracy was poor. This lack of clarity, combined with duplicate entries and no dedicated analysis tool, left them with no spend transparency and low potential for improvement.

Creactives addressed this by implementing a comprehensive solution, which included defining a new taxonomy and performing massive data categorization using AI. The vendor installed its TSV software and set up a web UI for material group prompting. The results were transformative: MT Aerospace achieved a new high-granularity material group structure, data categorization accuracy exceeding 95%, detection of duplicates, and full spend transparency.
