Franchise transformation with data products optimizes joint budget planning

Managing a billion-dollar budget across multiple LATAM franchise bottling partners was a complex challenge for this global food and beverage giant. Fragmented data, inconsistent regional reporting, and limited visibility into past spending decisions led to budget misallocation and inefficient go-to-market (GTM) execution. Without a unified system to track and optimize channel-wise spending, decision-making was slow, manual, and reactive rather than strategic.

Sigmoid designed a multi-year transformation roadmap, addressing key pain points through quick wins in business intelligence and reporting, early analytics initiatives like sales forecasting and market share prediction, and full-scale budget management digitization. A go-to-market data hub was developed with MLOps support, ensuring continuous improvement and automation of workflows for enhanced financial control.

The results? A 7% topline growth, $6.2M in cost savings, and a 9% ROI boost across key LATAM markets. Ready to see how data can revolutionize budget management and unlock growth? Read the full case study now!
