PepsiCo Enhances Global Procurement Strategy with SpendHQ
PepsiCo is refining its global procurement strategy through a strategic partnership with SpendHQ, aiming to drive greater visibility, efficiency, and alignment across its worldwide spend portfolio. This move underscores the growing importance of data-led decision-making in FMCG supply chains, particularly at the enterprise level.
The global food and beverage giant, which operates in over 200 countries and territories, is leveraging SpendHQ’s SaaS-based spend intelligence platform to unify and cleanse procurement data across regions, categories, and business units. The goal: a single source of truth that supports category management, sourcing, and supplier collaboration.
Prior to implementing SpendHQ, PepsiCo’s decentralized structure created data silos that made global procurement analysis and collaboration difficult. PepsiCo’s team confirmed these silos hindered value creation initiatives and slowed execution, prompting the need for a more connected solution.
Through SpendHQ’s analytics tools, PepsiCo is now able to aggregate and enrich procurement data from multiple ERP systems and internal platforms. Once disparate data sets are now harmonized, allowing category managers to identify opportunities, mitigate risks, and collaborate more effectively across markets.
This level of transparency supports PepsiCo’s Procurement Reinvention Program — an initiative focused on increasing agility, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness across its supplier base. By implementing a dynamic and agile spend visibility system, leaders can now pivot rapidly when disruptions arise, whether due to inflation, geopolitical tensions, or supply volatility.
“Our partnership with SpendHQ has enabled us to better connect procurement professionals across all regions,” said PepsiCo’s Global Director of Spend Visibility. “We’re now empowered with actionable insights that drive value and foster alignment.”
As FMCG manufacturers face mounting pressure to deliver cost efficiencies while navigating supply chain disruptions, solutions like SpendHQ are becoming instrumental. For global brands like PepsiCo, visibility into spend isn’t just a finance function—it’s a strategic enabler for innovation, supplier partnerships, and long-term resilience.
