When TGS merged with PGS, their procurement team inherited 3 ERP systems, 66 legal entities, and 3,700 suppliers, with a combined annual spend of USD 1 billion 🫨 And no single view of the newly merged business. Getting all that under control usually takes years. TGS did it in one, and won Procurement Impact of the Year at the Nordic Procurement Summit for it! I got to know their journey while working with Håkon and Vetle 👋 on their success story, so I might be a little biased. But it was a well deserved win. Here’s what their team pulled off: 👉 Brought spend from 3 systems into one clear view 👉 ~40M USD in contracted savings registered in the first full year 👉 Monthly procurement reporting embedded in the company’s financial picture That’s why I’m excited to have Håkon Matheson, Director of Global Sourcing & Vendor Management at TGS, join us for a webinar. He’ll share how they did it, what they tackled first, the trade-offs they made, and the lessons worth stealing. If you’re trying to get control of your spend, this one’s for you. Join us on October 27th at 14:00 CET for a 20-minute talk plus live Q&A (45 minutes total). Register here: https://lnkd.in/gG9gnQsS

Savings only count if finance believes them. After merging with PGS, TGS aligned its procurement categories with how finance reports costs, from vessel cost to CAPEX and OPEX. Every saving now has an audit trail, and leadership gets a monthly view of spend, savings and suppliers. Håkon Matheson shows how they built that trust in the first year. 20 minutes plus Q&A, Oct 27 at 14:00 CET.

When TGS and PGS merged, procurement inherited SAP, IFS and Oracle Fusion, 66 legal entities and around 3,400 suppliers. No single view of any of it. Most teams take years to fix a start like that. TGS did it in one, and won Procurement Impact of the Year for it. Håkon Matheson, Director Global Sourcing and Vendor Management at TGS, shows how. 20 minutes plus live Q&A, Oct 27 at 14:00 CET.

If all your spend sits in one clean system, with every supplier categorized, you don't need this session. For everyone else, TGS started its merger with 3 ERPs and no shared view. A year later, it had one spend cube, 96% of suppliers categorized and an award to show for it. Håkon Matheson explains what they tackled first. Oct 27 at 14:00 CET.

That was TGS's starting point after merging with PGS. Close to USD 1 billion in combined spend, 3 systems that didn't talk to each other, and no way to see where suppliers overlapped. One year later, they had one view of every supplier and category, and real commercial value to show for it. Håkon Matheson walks through what they did first and the trade-offs they accepted.
