a $1B integrated chocolate manufacturer based in North America saves millions and cuts software costs by $500K with Messina Group

A $1 billion integrated chocolate manufacturer based in North America was facing significant challenges with data governance and master data management due to its multiple manufacturing facilities operating with individual processes and systems. Key data domains, including product, customer, and material, had different sources of record, which caused major issues for business processes and inventory visibility. The Messina Group was engaged to address these problems.

Messina Group conducted a data assessment and developed an MDM strategy, which included selecting and implementing the Informatica Master Data Management platform. Through a competitive selection process and negotiation, Messina secured nearly $500,000 in immediate software licensing savings for the client. The implementation of the solution is projected to save the chocolate manufacturer several million dollars over the next three to five years by creating trustworthy data and improving operational efficiencies.
