Case Study: Valio achieves improved spend visibility and sourcing performance with Sievo

Valio - Customer Case Study

Valio, the Finnish dairy cooperative, struggled with poor visibility into purchasing data and lacked credible performance figures for senior management, which slowed sourcing and category managers. To centralize spend and performance information and build a systematic savings lifecycle, Valio engaged Sievo, a procurement analytics SaaS provider that delivers spend visibility and analytics for sourcing teams.

Sievo integrated data from SAP, Oracle and Axapta and became the single source of truth for sourcing and category managers, with the first phase rolled out in four months and scope later extended to Estonia. As a result, Sievo helped Valio uncover new savings opportunities, track realized savings and market performance, improve contract and compliance measurement, and free up sourcing managers’ time—significantly increasing reporting credibility and enabling the sourcing organization to grow.
