Case Study: Global Media & Entertainment Company achieves automated spend data management and higher classification accuracy with Zycus

Global Media & Entertainment Giant Steps up to Automate Spend Data Management with Zycus

The Global Media & Entertainment Company, a global media giant managing roughly US$10 billion in annual spend, had been using a third‑party hosted spend analysis service but struggled with limited classification accuracy and granularity (especially in A/P), slow timeliness, no closed‑loop feedback to improve results, and rising total cost of ownership. To overcome these issues and increase coverage across P‑Card, AP and PO data, the company selected Zycus and its automated Spend Data Management solution, AutoClass.

Zycus implemented its AI‑based AutoClass classifier, integrating with the customer's data warehouse to process and code high volumes of transactions, schedule regular and real‑time classification, and learn from feedback to improve over time. As a result, Zycus delivered faster time‑to‑value (results in days), higher classification accuracy and broader spend coverage, and reduced operating costs and overall TCO—enabling more timely, granular spend insight for the company’s sourcing managers.
