Case Study: Global Manufacturing and Supply Chain Solutions Provider achieves $30M annual savings and increased agility with Pegasystems

Global manufacturer saves $30M by retooling legacy apps

A $20 billion global manufacturing and supply‑chain solutions provider with 200,000 employees set out to standardize best practices and reduce cost and risk as part of a growth and acquisition strategy. The company was weighed down by a loose collection of over 1,000 legacy applications, high direct and shadow IT costs, and limited agility in responding to rapid industry and technological change.

The company adopted Pega’s visually driven, low‑code platform so business and IT could rapidly retool and replace legacy apps, retire redundant point solutions, and eliminate costly shadow IT. The initiative delivered $30 million in annual savings from reduced support and maintenance, increased global agility and scalability, and improved risk management across the supply chain.
