Live deployments across six industries and four business functions.

Challenge

The planning team relied on spreadsheet-based rolling forecasts, with assumptions scattered across files and analysts spending most of their time reconciling numbers rather than advising the business. Forecasting cycles were long. Variance explanations took days. Scenario analysis was ad-hoc and rarely revisited.

Solution

Advisor replaced the spreadsheet workflow with a centralized planning environment. Assumptions became shared and auditable across business units. Forecasting integrated with reporting and analytics in a single platform, starting in FP&A and expanding into procurement and production planning.

Impact

Performance reviews shifted from accounting reconciliation to decision-making. Forecasting cycles compressed materially. The deployment expanded from one function to four, all running on a single source of truth.

Challenge

Post-merger, the procurement function inherited tens of thousands of vendors spread across multiple ERP instances with no consolidated spend view. Category managers operated in regional silos. Identifying savings opportunities required weeks of data reconciliation before any analysis could begin.

Solution

Advisor unified spend data from all ERP instances into a single source of truth. Materials were re-categorized with a consistent taxonomy across regions. Conversational analytics gave category managers and leadership immediate visibility into spend, supplier concentration, and savings opportunities.

Impact

Company-wide visibility into spend for the first time post-merger. Category managers across regions now operate as a single integrated team. Data trust and speed enabling fact-based decision-making where gut feeling previously prevailed.

Challenge

Procurement analysts were answering high-stakes business questions through manual processes — pulling data from multiple systems, reconciling supplier records, building one-off analyses for each new request. Time-to-answer for non-standard questions was measured in days. The team wanted analytical depth without the analytical bottleneck.

Solution

Started as a focused proof of concept on contract analytics. Advisor delivered measurable results within weeks: contract status visibility, mid-contract renegotiation triggers, renovations ahead of expiration. The PoC expanded into a full procurement analytics platform.

Impact

Non-standard business questions answered in minutes rather than days. Analyst team focused on judgment and exceptions rather than data assembly. Proactive procurement: contracts renegotiated before expiration, supplier risks flagged early.

Challenge

The transformation team faced a cultural barrier: decisions were made on gut feeling because data wasn’t trusted or accessible. Spend transparency was limited. Initiatives stalled because the data foundation needed to support them was too slow to assemble.

Solution

Democratized access to spend data and analytics. Conversational queries replaced report requests. Benchmarks and deviation tracking surfaced opportunities the team didn’t know existed. Forecasting integrated into the same environment so decisions could be modeled before commitment.

Impact

Data trust ceased to be a reason for inaction. Newer team members were empowered by fact-based decision-making rather than constrained by access barriers. Spend transparency unlocked initiatives that had been stalled.
