Case Study: Pentair achieves faster spend analysis and $15M working capital improvement with Sievo

Pentair - Customer Case Study

Pentair, a global leader in water and fluid management, faced a stagnant, complex spend-analysis environment that left category managers spending weeks to reconcile inconsistent numbers across business units and lacking visibility into spend classification, payment terms and supplier consolidation. Seeking a simple, intuitive global solution, Pentair chose Sievo’s Spend Analytics (and Contract Management) offering after benchmarking vendors and finding Sievo’s procurement analytics, responsiveness and global capabilities the best fit.

Sievo deployed its SaaS Spend Analytics and Contract Management solution globally in two months with under two hours of training, cutting analysis cycle time from weeks to minutes and increasing user engagement. The Sievo implementation delivered measurable results for Pentair: over 90% spend-classification accuracy, more than 10% supplier consolidation improvement, $15M in working-capital improvement from payment-term negotiations, and clearer opportunities to reduce inventory and drive savings. Sievo’s agility and customer focus helped Pentair standardize spend analysis and accelerate procurement value creation.
