Case Study: Grupo Mexico achieves 10% cost savings and unified data visibility with SAP Ariba

How Can Greater Control Over Data Help Reduce Costs and Create an International Brand

Grupo México – División Minera AMC, part of one of Mexico’s largest mining groups and a major global copper producer, consolidated its Mexican, Peruvian, and U.S. operations into a single Americas division. Managing about one million transactions a year, the company struggled with fragmented data, inconsistent practices, and limited visibility needed to control costs and present itself as one international organization.

By deploying SAP solutions (SAP Ariba Spend Analysis, Sourcing, Contracts, and SAP SuccessFactors), Grupo México centralized data, defined and tracked KPIs, used text mining to classify spending, and accelerated cloud-based sourcing and contracting. The integrated approach improved employee performance and satisfaction, enabled better spending control and best-practice sharing, achieved 10% cost savings in three years, and cut annual operational expense growth from 7% to 3%.
