Case Study: Barry-Wehmiller achieves 20% more savings with Sievo

How Sievo helped Barry-Wehmiller capture 20% more savings

Barry-Wehmiller, a global industrial manufacturing leader with more than 12,000 employees, had grown through 140+ acquisitions and ended up with a highly decentralized procurement network. With over a billion dollars in spend but inconsistent supplier data and limited visibility across business units, the team struggled to standardize category classification, measure savings, and negotiate effectively at scale. Barry-Wehmiller used Sievo’s Spend Analytics to bring clarity and control to procurement.

Sievo connected isolated ERPs and unified Barry-Wehmiller’s spend data into a single view, giving procurement a common baseline for savings tracking and stronger category management. As a result, the company increased classification coverage by 40%, identified millions in value, and captured 20% more savings. Barry-Wehmiller also gained stronger supplier leverage, including one case where actual spend with a key supplier was found to be twice what had been reported, enabling better negotiations and global agreement terms with Sievo.
