Case Study: ACH Food Companies achieves faster acquisition integration and $3M SAP migration savings with Informatica

ACH Food saved $3 million in data migration costs with Informatica products

ACH Food Companies, a North American leader in specialty foods that doubled its sales over a decade through acquisitions, faced growing pains from bolt‑on legacy systems and siloed data. The company needed to accelerate large‑scale SAP deployment, gain a real‑time, enterprise‑wide view of information, close the business–IT gap, and shorten the time‑to‑value from new acquisitions.

By implementing Informatica solutions (PowerCenter, Data Quality, Address Verification, PowerExchange for SAP and Data Explorer), ACH accelerated integration and improved data trust. SAP data migration was cut from six to three months, saving $3 million, and acquisition integration time fell from nine to four months; the company gained a single measure of customer profitability across five business units, better credit and contract management, and faster, more confident decision making.
