Case Study: McKesson achieves better contracts and faster delivery with SAP HANA

How Is Self-Service Data Preparation Helping Secure Better Contracts and Faster Delivery to Healthcare Customers

McKesson, a global distributor of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, was hampered by slow, error-prone manual data preparation that made supplier analysis, contract negotiation, and timely delivery more difficult for its procurement teams.

Using SAP HANA and SAP Agile Data Preparation to centralize and harmonize global supplier master data and provide business self-service, McKesson consolidated ~30,000 supplier records, reduced data-prep time by >97% (from ~30 days to 2–4 hours), cut resources on major vendor accounts by about half, and accelerated contract negotiations and customer delivery—lowering costs and improving service.
