Case Study: Opella reduces maverick spend by 43% with Sievo

How Sievo turned data mountains into excellence for Opella

Opella, a leading consumer healthcare company headquartered in France, needed to establish procurement independence after separating from Sanofi’s Consumer Healthcare division. With spend and finance data scattered across multiple systems, the team struggled with manual reconciliation, inconsistent reporting, and limited visibility into compliance, supplier performance, and sustainability. To address this, Opella used Sievo’s Spend Analytics and Sustainability Analytics, along with other Sievo solutions.

Sievo centralized Opella’s procurement and finance data into a single source of truth, integrating 9 data sources and enabling weekly refreshes and full classification coverage. In just 4 months, Opella gained a complete snapshot of procurement operations, reduced distinct ERP suppliers by 65%, achieved 87% PO coverage, and cut maverick spend by 43% within one year.
