Case Study: Mondelez International achieves integrated digital procurement, 28,000-supplier visibility and millions in cost savings with Tableau Software

Mondelez International transforms procurement digitally to integrate 160+ data fields, 28K suppliers, and drive millions in cost savings

Mondelez International, the world’s largest maker of biscuits, chocolate, and candy with more than $20 billion in revenue and products in 160+ countries, faced a fragmented procurement landscape: the Global Procurement Data & Analytics team had to manage roughly $60 billion of spend across nearly 28,000 suppliers with data split across 160+ fields and 42 million transactions. Legacy, siloed systems and spreadsheet-based workflows produced slow, inconsistent reporting, dozens of underused reports, and limited visibility for stakeholders worldwide.

The team built a central data repository on SAP HANA and adopted Tableau for analytics, consolidating 100+ reports into 10 dashboards for 475 users and standardizing KPIs globally. The change cut report cycles from weeks to days, shortened a key payment-terms analysis from eight weeks to two, reduced communications from ~3 hours to minutes, saved about 7,000 hours per year, and generated millions in cost avoidance while improving supplier management, cash visibility, and sustainability insights.
