$100M annual savings through digital transformation

Our client faced a challenge: how to better use their data to drive efficiencies and boost EBITDA. West Monroe uncovered that enhancing digital capabilities was essential to achieving their goals. We evaluated portfolio spending and identified procurement, sourcing, and supply chain as key areas for improvement. Our collaborative analysis produced a business case focused on streamlining these processes. By building a unified strategy, we prepared the client for immediate results, driving efficiency gains and setting the foundation for long-term value creation across the portfolio.

West Monroe and our client worked together to execute the digital transformation. We established a PMO to guide the effort and migrated portfolio companies to preferred suppliers, focusing on best practices and collaboration across the portfolio. Our team, with expertise in digital tools, strategic sourcing, and private equity, facilitated rapid adoption of the new procurement model. By engaging stakeholders from across the portfolio, we were able to create sustainable cost savings that drove immediate results and positioned the client for ongoing success.

The digital overhaul resulted in $100 million in annual savings by improving procurement and standardizing sourcing across the portfolio. Their portfolio companies collectively saved an average of more than 10,000 hours per year, allowing them to focus on higher-value tasks. Additionally, the client gained real-time visibility into operating costs, improving decision-making and driving sustained EBITDA growth. The unified approach we developed ensures faster results and sets the stage for continued financial success across their investments.
