Case Study: AGCO Corporation achieves millions in cost avoidance and automated supply‑chain risk visibility with riskmethods

AGCO Corporation - Customer Case Study

AGCO, a global agricultural machinery manufacturer with about $7 billion in addressable procurement and roughly 6,000 suppliers, struggled with fragmented procurement, poor multi‑tier visibility and internal teams competing for constrained supplier capacity when disruptions (earthquakes, strikes, compliance events) occurred. To centralize risk oversight and focus on its top ~250 suppliers, AGCO engaged riskmethods and its Supply Risk Network SCRM software to bring external dynamic risk data, automated monitoring and analytics into procurement.

riskmethods delivered multi‑tier supply‑base visibility, 100% automated early‑warning signals and consolidated risk analytics, which AGCO paired with a matrix organization, dedicated risk managers and training. The combined approach produced measurable outcomes—automated risk monitoring, faster reaction times, hard savings from advanced sourcing and reduced manual data work, continuous ROI gains over the first three years and avoidance of crisis costs that together saved the company millions.
