Case Study: American Multinational Energy Conglomerate achieves 30% cost savings and streamlined global vendor data management with Datamatics

Vendor Enablement Process Optimization For A Multi-National Energy Conglomerate

The American Multinational Energy Conglomerate, a Fortune 500 diversified manufacturer with $122.9B revenue and 313,000 employees, faced the challenge of collecting mandatory data from more than 50,000 global suppliers, centralizing vendor records and country-specific documents, consolidating master files across multiple ERP systems, and reducing the cost and complexity of temporary processing. Datamatics was engaged to address these needs and recommended its iPM-powered web-based e-supplier portal and centralized repository as the core solution.

Datamatics implemented the centralized repository and iPM e-supplier portal with integrations to multiple ERP centers, multilingual intelligent web forms, geo-specific data collection, multiple communication channels, workflow-driven approvals and automated alerts. The deployment delivered measurable benefits including around 30% annual cost savings, an online vendor master-data validation process, a secondary database for restoration, automated reminders and streamlined approval routing — accelerating supplier onboarding and reducing manual effort.
