Fortune 50 Food Brand
Saves $1M+ via Automation

Challenge

Global scale, local nuance, one automation spine.

This Fortune 50 food and beverage leader runs customer and employee workflows across more than two hundred countries. Even “simple” service operations became expensive when tickets arrived in multiple languages or rewards programs required humans to review millions of proof-of-purchase images for fraud.

Legacy ticket tooling leaned on a third-party service to interpret ServiceNow requests and manually route them—slow, costly, and hard to audit. Separately, the popular global rewards experience demanded manual review of up to two million receipts per year to keep promotions fair.

“You could use it for everything. If I stepped into an organization and said, we need automation, I want to gain productivity, … and I just want to get it done. Kognitos fits the bill for that perfectly because you can evolve the automation process in a decentralized way.”

Solution

English as Code. Always-on, audit-ready automation.

Automating ServiceNow intake

Kognitos replaced the brittle manual triage loop with automation that runs continuously—24 hours a day, every day of the year. A custom endpoint updates ServiceNow ticket records the moment requests arrive so the right internal team owns the work immediately, regardless of whether the customer wrote in Spanish, Portuguese, English, or another supported language.

Because business users adapt the English-described playbooks per country, the organization keeps one automation spine while still honoring local regulatory and system differences—exactly the model that unlocked more than ninety thousand hours saved annually alongside multi-million-dollar cost avoidance.

Managing rewards submissions

The same governed platform streamlined proof-of-purchase workflows: faster handling times, lower fraud exposure, and a better participant experience—all while preserving the compliance rigor expected of a Fortune 50 operator.

Frequently asked questions about the Global Food & Beverage Leader story

The Fortune 50 food & beverage leader reduced annual operating costs by more than $1M using Kognitos automation. The savings come from eliminating manual document processing across procurement, finance, and operations — without proportional headcount growth as the business scaled.
Global CPG operations span hundreds of suppliers, dozens of currencies, and regional regulatory regimes. Kognitos handles the variability because every automation is described in English and executed deterministically — the same policy works whether the document is a vendor invoice from one country or a regulatory filing from another.
Common CPG targets include AP/3-way match, demand forecasting intake, supplier onboarding, packing slip reconciliation, trade promotion validation, and SKU master data management. Each is process-heavy and exception-rich — the kind of work where deterministic agentic AI beats both manual and bot-based approaches.
Yes. Kognitos customers in CPG, manufacturing, and retail routinely report seven-figure annual savings within the first year. The pattern is consistent: the more variability and exceptions a process has, the larger the gap between Kognitos and legacy RPA, and the bigger the savings.
