Case Study: Chr. Hansen achieves verified procurement savings and finance alignment with Sievo

Chr. Hansen - Customer Case Study

Chr. Hansen, a global bioscience company, engaged Sievo to support a procurement transformation that required visibility into all purchasing spend (direct, indirect and logistics) and prices. Chr. Hansen’s objective was to create a fact base for procurement decision-making and to ensure that identified savings would be realized — Sievo’s procurement analytics SaaS-based reporting was deployed to provide that spend and price transparency.

Sievo delivered comprehensive spend visibility, savings lifecycle tracking and root-cause analysis (purchase prices, currency and market effects), shifting from project-level validation to ongoing annual savings follow-up against historical baselines. As a result, Sievo helped ensure created savings hit the bottom line, aligned procurement with finance, enabled budget-deviation reporting to drive cross‑functional discussions, and expanded measurement to payment terms and purchase-process tracking — outcomes Chr. Hansen says have delivered sustained credibility and measurable financial impact.
