Case Study: Food & Beverage achieves millions in cost savings with Robobai

Our major food and beverage client uses Robobai to unlock millions in cost saving

Food & Beverage, a large Australia and New Zealand supplier with $1.9B in annual spend and more than 5,000 suppliers, needed a better way to manage fragmented procurement data across multiple legacy systems. The company struggled with inaccurate, poorly classified information and lacked a cross-business view of spend, leaving category teams “flying blind.” Robobai’s human-guided AI machine learning platform was selected to help address these data preparation and visibility challenges.

Robobai extracted ERP data via a simple flat-file process, with no ERP integration or IT involvement required, and delivered a clean, unified view of procurement data in just six weeks. Using machine learning plus expert validation, Robobai connected, cleansed, and classified more than 1 million transactions per month, enabling analytics across the full data set and delivering insights on savings, supplier compliance, risk, and working capital. The result was millions of dollars in cost-saving opportunities and a reported 100x ROI in year one.
