Building a Unified Procurement Ecosystem for a Global Agri-Tech Innovator

Empowering Agriculture through Innovation and Scale

Operating on a global scale, the organization is a leading innovator in agricultural machinery and precision-agriculture technology, delivering end-to-end solutions that help farmers enhance productivity and sustainability. With operations across North America, Europe, Asia and South America, it designs, manufactures and distributes a wide portfolio of equipment from tractors and combines to smart-farming systems and aftermarket parts under well-known brand names. The company partners closely with original-equipment manufacturers and service providers, leveraging digital tools, global supply networks and strong regional hubs to support farmers, rural communities and agribusinesses in more than 140 countries.
As the company’s footprint expanded and its procurement and supplier networks grew more complex, it recognized the need for greater efficiency, transparency and consistency in its global purchasing operations. Managing multiple regional frameworks, disjointed supplier systems and legacy workflows limited visibility into spending, supplier performance and logistical coordination. To address this, the organization partnered with the Cherrywork Suite of Digital Solutions from Incture, establishing a unified, cloud-based procurement platform designed to bring clarity, alignment and control to its global supply chain ecosystem.

With procurement operations distributed across multiple regions, each team followed its own processes, tools, and approval structures. This regional flexibility supported local decision-making but also created a growing requirement for a more connected and synchronized approach. Each center maintained independent supplier records, spending data, and performance reports, resulting in valuable insights being managed across separate systems. Leadership required a unified view of procurement activities to align purchasing strategies, optimize supplier performance, and strengthen financial planning. Since finance and procurement often operated with separate reporting formats, teams invested significant time coordinating updates to ensure consistency in spend tracking and forecasting.

As global operations scaled, the business aimed to bring greater transparency, standardization, and speed to its procurement function. Teams required real-time access to supplier data, order statuses, and budget utilization to enhance responsiveness and ensure policy alignment across geographies. Activities such as budget reconciliation, approval tracking, and supplier collaboration needed to move from email- and spreadsheet-based coordination to an integrated, data-driven system. Establishing a single digital platform was essential to connect regional centers, enable informed decision-making, and elevate procurement into a strategic driver of business performance and efficiency.

Strengthening Governance Through Integrated Automation

Solution:
Building a Unified Digital Foundation for Global Procurement
To bring structure, transparency, and efficiency to its procurement ecosystem, the organization implemented the Cherrywork Supplier Collaboration Portal, a cloud-based platform designed to unify global purchasing operations. Seamlessly integrated with SAP systems, the solution consolidated procurement processes across all regional centers into one connected digital hub. This centralization enabled consistent workflows and provided real-time access to supplier data, purchase orders, and budget utilization. By automating approvals and document exchanges that were previously handled through emails and spreadsheets, the platform eliminated redundant tasks and reduced dependency on manual interventions.

Beyond consolidation, the Cherrywork solution introduced intelligent dashboards that offered end-to-end visibility into supplier performance, spend analytics, and process efficiency. Procurement teams could now collaborate with finance and regional teams on a single interface, ensuring alignment on pricing strategies, budgets, and forecasts. Automated alerts and status updates helped streamline communication with suppliers, while built-in reporting tools allowed leaders to make informed, data-driven decisions. Together, these capabilities transformed the organization’s procurement function into a transparent, agile, and globally connected operation, creating a foundation for scalable growth and strategic collaboration.

The implementation of the Cherrywork Supplier Collaboration Portal marked a major milestone in the organization’s digital transformation journey.

The integration of automated workflows and analytics empowered faster, data-driven decision-making, while the creation of a single global hub strengthened governance and compliance. This transformation turned procurement from a support function into a strategic enabler—driving efficiency, transparency, and global synergy across the organization’s entire value chain.
