Case Study: Fortune 500 Manufacturing Company achieves 10% cost reduction and 10% faster product delivery with ThoughtSpot

Data-Driven Manufacturer: Managing Operations with Search-Driven Analytics

A Fortune 500 global semiconductor manufacturer that produces billions of chips annually struggled with slow product development because engineers couldn’t use the company’s complex BI tools (Cognos, Oracle OBIEE, QlikView). Engineers relied on an overworked BI team to produce reports, creating a reporting backlog that became a bottleneck across product lines and delayed decision-making.

The company deployed ThoughtSpot’s search-driven analytics to give engineers self-service access to cross-source data for headcount, design, test results and project milestones. Teams now run ~1,300 searches a week, perform root-cause analysis by component, optimize the supply chain, and free the BI team for strategic work—delivering products 10% faster, cutting material costs by ~10%, improving customer satisfaction by 15% and reducing waste and pipeline delays.
