AB InBev, the world's largest brewer with $55B revenue and $30B annual procurement spend, faced overwhelming complexity managing procurement. Excel files exceeded 100 gigabytes equivalent, took 10 minutes to open, and broke when cell references failed. The procurement finance team spent valuable time on low-value reporting and fixing errors rather than generating insights.
Starting in 2016, AB InBev partnered with Keyrus to build connected procurement planning on Anaplan. The implementation began with Champions savings tracking, expanded to commodity and risk management (CTRM), and now includes supply chain financial data, service fees, and one-year planning—all interconnected on a single platform.
Results include significant time savings during monthly closing, freed capacity for value-added analysis, and powerful what-if scenario capabilities.
