One of the world's top-5 global cruise operators ran procurement across 9 distinct brands with 4,487 active vendor initiatives, totaling 5.35 billion in addressable spend. Contracts, rebates, and compliance data lived in siloed systems with no unified view.
Category managers could not see total spend across brands. Rebate agreements went unclaimed because no one had visibility into what had been negotiated across the portfolio. Audit preparation took 3 weeks of manual effort each cycle, pulling data from multiple systems and reconciling it by hand.
BASAWE built a Snowflake-based procurement analytics platform that ingests ERP, contract, and rebate data across all 9 brands. dbt models unified vendor hierarchies, normalizing naming conventions and category structures that had diverged across brands over years of independent operation.
Power BI and Tableau dashboards gave category managers real-time visibility into spend, contract status, and rebate performance across the full portfolio. Automated rebate tracking replaced manual reconciliation, surfacing unclaimed agreements and flagging expiring contracts before deadlines passed.
Compliance reporting pipelines were built to generate audit-ready data packages on demand, reducing what had been a 3-week manual process to a matter of hours.
