McKesson replaced manual spreadsheet and email processes with SAP Agile Data Preparation running on its existing SAP HANA platform. Procurement teams gained centralized, self-service access to harmonized supplier, contract, and rebate data across regions. The change reduced data preparation time from 30 days to 2-4 hours, cut staffing needs for major vendor accounts by half, and supported faster contract negotiations and improved customer service.
