Case Study: Chassis Brakes achieves 99% PO coverage and full spend visibility with Ivalua

The path to greatness driving a successful transformation across global procurement & supply chain

Chassis Brakes International, a global manufacturer of braking systems, faced fragmented, corrupt supplier master data (12,000+ suppliers across multiple SAP instances), low visibility into spend (PO coverage ~30%, <25% of spend known), locally stored contracts, and paper-based, regionally driven procurement processes that limited global control and commodity management.

By deploying Ivalua’s Procurement Empowerment Platform (Supplier Management, Sourcing, Contract Management, Procurement, Invoicing, Analytics) Chassis Brakes centralized supplier data, standardized PR/PO and contract processes, and integrated with SAP (25 interfaces). Results included a >50% reduction in suppliers, 99% PO coverage, 98% of spend analyzed, 100% contract visibility, mobile approvals, and realized savings (~0.5% on direct spend and ~10% on indirect spend) with faster, more strategic procurement.
