Case Study: Corporación Multi Inversiones (CMI) achieves centralized, paperless procurement and over $11.6M in benefits with SAP Ariba

CMI Streamlining Complex Operations to Stay on Top of a Diversified Business with SAP Ariba Solutions

Corporación Multi Inversiones (CMI) is a diversified Guatemalan consumer‑products group operating across meat distribution, restaurants, hydroelectric projects, real estate and grain, with 36,000 employees. Facing manual, fragmented procurement processes, CMI lacked 360° visibility and control, which hindered agility and risked falling behind more nimble competitors.

CMI implemented a suite of SAP Ariba solutions (including Discovery, Contracts, Supplier Information & Performance Management, Catalog, Spend Analysis and Collaborative Sourcing) to centralize and digitize procurement on a single platform. The change automated processes, standardized best practices across business units, improved supplier collaboration and customer service, and delivered measurable impact: more than $11.6M in benefits, 600+ sourcing projects, 1,600 suppliers onboarded and 500+ contracts uploaded.
