Case Study: Global Consumer Packaged Goods Company achieves over $36M in savings and audit‑proof license compliance with Flexera Software

Global Consumer Packaged Goods Company Achieves $36M in Software Savings

A global consumer packaged goods company with more than 100,000 employees across roughly 75 countries faced repeated software vendor audits, out-of-compliance findings and unbudgeted costs in the tens of millions annually. With decentralized software purchases and no Software Asset Management (SAM) processes or in-house expertise, the company was exposed to significant financial and compliance risk.

The company engaged Flexera to deploy FlexNet Manager Suite and a Global Consulting managed service to establish enterprise-wide SAM, optimize licenses, reassign unnecessary spend to priority projects, and remain audit-ready. In the first 18 months the program delivered more than $36 million in savings, kept the organization in compliance with Oracle and SAP (who accept Flexera reports), eliminated audit-related effort and continues to produce ongoing quarterly fiscal benefits; an App Portal rollout will further streamline compliant software requests.
