Case Study: Bayer achieves real-time visibility and major time savings with Smartsheet

Bayer gains real-time visibility with Smartsheet, saving countless hours

Bayer needed a more flexible way to connect headquarters, regional offices, and local sites with real-time visibility and a single system of execution. Using Smartsheet, Bayer replaced manual, slide-based reporting with a scalable project and portfolio management platform to keep global teams aligned and improve objective tracking.

Smartsheet enabled Bayer to build intake forms, automated toolkits, dashboards, and department-specific views in minutes, while also centralizing objectives and project data. The impact was significant: one team saved over 500 hours through automation, managers saved 2–3 hours per week, and Bayer reported more than 20,000 man-hours saved in 2023, along with millions in annual efficiency gains.
