Case Study: CertainTeed achieves $1M+ annual savings and 18% inventory reduction with Sphera's Master Data Management

Building a Sustained Approach to Reliable Data

CertainTeed, a subsidiary of Saint-Gobain and a leading North American building products manufacturer, needed to consolidate and standardize MRO material master data as it moved multiple business divisions into a single SAP instance. To prepare for and sustain the SAP and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) rollout across roughly 250,000 material records at 60 facilities, CertainTeed selected Sphera’s Master Data Management solutions.

Sphera implemented Master Data Management with two‑way SAP integration, governance rules, and data optimization to clean and control MRO data across five divisions in the U.S. and Canada. As a result, Sphera helped CertainTeed save over $1 million annually with preferred suppliers (average price discounts >15%), eliminate 18% of inventory line items (duplicates/substitutes/obsolete), cut material creation/extension effort by up to 50%, and improve new data entry through stronger governance.
