Case Study: Pactiv achieves faster time-to-market and $1.3M productivity savings with Precisely Automate Evolve

Pactiv Generates Significant Revenue Gains and Improves Productivity with Automate Evolve

Pactiv Corporation, the world’s largest manufacturer and distributor of food packaging and foodservice products, faced a costly master-data bottleneck: minor “like-item” packaging changes required creating entirely new material master records, a multi-department manual process that took an average of 28 days per product creation request (PCR) and led to missed revenue opportunities. To address this, Pactiv engaged Precisely and its Automate Evolve solution to streamline forms and workflows.

Precisely implemented Automate Evolve (with MPS Partners support) to automate front-end data capture, route approvals, and feed SAP, cutting material-master setup from 28 days to about two weeks (with some setups taking as little as 10 minutes). Precisely’s solution halved PCR time, delivered productivity gains of 25,360 hours per year (≈ $1.3M), produced earlier receivables (~$525K annually), enabled faster revenue recognition, and avoided adding headcount.
