Case Study: a large Fortune 500 forest products company accelerates SAP ERP consolidation with Verdanti item master enrichment

Large Fortune 500 Forest Products Company - Customer Case Study

A large fortune 500 forest products company faced a critical challenge during a massive SAP ERP consolidation project: rationalizing over 450,000 highly duplicated and poor-quality material master records from 42 plants. After a previous vendor's costly and ineffective manual attempt failed, the company turned to Verdantis. They needed to cleanse, classify, enrich, and deduplicate their item master data to salvage the multi-million dollar consolidation initiative driven by their CEO.

Verdantis implemented its AI-powered Auto Class and AutoSpec software tools via a managed service to automate the entire process. This solution successfully identified and removed 30% of the item duplicates, extracted and enriched attributes with high accuracy, and created a single global master. The project was completed in ten months, revitalizing the stalled ERP consolidation and resulting in multi-million dollar savings and new revenue opportunities for the customer.
