Case Study: a large wood products company achieves ERP consolidation and $12M spare parts savings with Verdantis

Large wood products company leverages Verdantis for erp consolidation across 25 plants

The Large Wood Products Company, a major wood products company with over $7 billion in revenue, faced significant challenges due to non-standard and duplicate data across its 25 plants. This lack of a common parts catalog led to poor inventory visibility, duplicated efforts, and hindered spend management. To support its ERP consolidation from multiple Maximo instances to a single SAP system, the company engaged Verdantis to address its master data issues.

Verdantis deployed its Harmonize® solution to standardize, classify, and de-duplicate over 300,000 SKUs. The process identified an initial 15% of parts as duplicates, with subsequent waves uncovering nearly 10% more. This data consolidation enabled the creation of a single, reliable catalog. As a result, Verdantis helped the company achieve its goals, including an estimated $12 million annual reduction in spare parts costs and significantly improved procurement efficiency and plant performance.
