As Insight expanded its global technology solutions business, it faced rising warehouse costs, bloated inventory, and inefficient procurement workflows. Reveal helped close the gap between SAP’s capabilities and team execution—empowering buyers, reengineering procurement processes, and aligning master data. The result: a $40M+ inventory reduction, $100K+ monthly savings in handling costs, faster order fulfillment, and sustainable internal ownership of continued performance improvements.

The Challenge

Insight’s procurement team was overwhelmed. Buyers lacked visibility into how their daily actions affected warehouse and transportation costs. They struggled with:

• Inability to automate or optimize purchasing through MRP.
• Excess inventory driving up holding costs and reducing inventory turns.
• Manual purchase requisition-to-order conversion consuming buyer time.
• No visibility into supply progress or supplier performance.
• Misalignment between master data, business rules, and operational goals.

This created cost drag, inefficient workflows, and a lack of confidence in SAP as a business enabler.

The Decision

Insight knew it needed more than system tweaks—it needed to rethink how people engaged with SAP. The team chose Reveal for its proven ability to transform SAP from an underutilized tool into a driver of business value. Reveal’s focus on education, coaching, and operational alignment matched Insight’s desire for sustainable internal capability, not ongoing dependency.

The Transformation

Reveal deployed its oVo® methodology across key procurement and supply chain functions, including:

• Educated buyers and product owners on how to leverage SAP to drive value, not just transactions.
• Conducted one-on-one executive sessions to align strategic goals with day-to-day system use.
• Created prioritized data groups to uncover and act on quick-win opportunities.
• Coached product owners through intelligent master data changes, measuring results in real time.
• Advised on structural reorganization to support performance accountability and efficiency.

This shift empowered teams, streamlined processes, and embedded continuous improvement into the culture.

The Results

The transformation yielded immediate and lasting business impact:

• Inventory reduced by over 30%, freeing up $40M in working capital
• $100K+ saved monthly in warehouse handling and overtime costs
• Faster transporter turnaround and improved warehouse flow
• Improved inventory turns and order responsiveness
• Increased shareholder value linked to operational improvements
• Ongoing ownership: Insight achieved an additional 10% inventory reduction independently post-project

By empowering Insight’s teams to fully leverage SAP’s capabilities, Reveal unlocked hidden profit trapped in inventory, labor, and workflow inefficiencies. The outcome was more than optimization—it was operational transformation with measurable ROI.
