Case Study: Global Robotics and Automation Company boosts EBITDA and supply chain visibility with The Smart Cube

Helping a global robotics and automation client supercharge its supply chain with procurement analytics

Global Robotics and Automation Company, a large industrials business operating manufacturing and non-manufacturing sites across 90 countries, worked with The Smart Cube to address a major challenge: how to improve operational business performance using its supply chain data. The company needed end-to-end visibility across a complex, globally integrated supply network to make better, fact-based decisions.

The Smart Cube deployed its Procurement Analytics solution, digitising and integrating supply chain data from finance, purchasing, production, sales, customer service and workforce sources, then applying advanced analytics through dashboards, prediction, simulation and optimisation. The result was improved visibility into cost structure and performance, with recommendations that could lift EBITDA margin by up to 5%, generate more than $50 million in additional profits, increase capacity utilisation from 40% to over 80%, and improve profitability through production consolidation and network optimisation.
