Problem

Poor visibility into supplier spend

A major CPG with operations across six countries and multiple ERP systems lacked holistic visibility into spend across the business.

Their existing taxonomy classified spend at the supplier level instead of the desired line-level and they struggled to measure supplier compliance to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standards.

 

Approach

A comprehensive view into supplier spending

The company used Mastercard Global Treasury Intelligence technology to deliver a comprehensive view of supplier spend across the business through a centralized, user-friendly platform.

The platform’s AI engine quickly classified line-level data to the universal United Nations Standard Products and Services Code® (UNSPSC®).

The company co-developed a sustainability dashboard to track the progress of supplier commitments.
