The client is a leading global fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) enterprise with operations spanning 130+ regions worldwide. The company focuses on driving innovation, operational efficiency, and digital transformation to strengthen its market position and deliver sustainable growth.
The global FMCG landscape continues to evolve rapidly as consumer expectations, market volatility, and operational pressures intensify. To stay competitive, enterprises are accelerating digital transformation, especially in finance, to improve agility, strengthen forecasting, and enable faster decision-making.
At the same time, many organizations are grappling with fragmented financial systems, legacy reporting tools, and inconsistent data standards across markets. These challenges are prompting a shift toward unified data platforms, automated financial workflows, and robust governance frameworks that ensure accuracy, transparency, and enterprise-wide alignment.
Against this backdrop, the client recognized the need to modernize its financial data foundation and adopt a more advanced financial data analytics platform. This could support its strategic vision, streamline operations, and unlock real-time, data-driven insights.
Against this backdrop of rising data complexity and the growing need for faster management insights, the client faced several structural challenges within its finance ecosystem. Multiple legacy systems, inconsistent reporting processes, and manual interventions made it difficult to create a clear and unified view of performance across a broad global footprint.
These gaps affected both day-to-day operations and long-term planning. As the organization pushed to build a stronger, more focused challenger business, four issues became particularly pressing:
To address these challenges and build a future-ready financial data foundation for management reporting, the client partnered with LTM to create a modern Financial Data Lake (FDL) on Azure Databricks for finance and Azure Cloud. The objective was to establish a unified ecosystem that enables standardized reporting, near real-time insights, and stronger governance across global markets.
The solution was centered around five key capabilities:
The implementation of the FDL delivered measurable business impact across the client’s global operations:
LTM received recognition from the client for developing a breakthrough financial reporting solution that strengthened FP&A processes and improved decision-making across the organization.
The Financial Data Lake has done more than streamline reporting. It has reshaped the client’s financial backbone into a strategic enabler. By bringing together data, governance, and real-time insights into one unified ecosystem, the organization now operates with greater clarity, speed, and confidence. This foundation not only supports today’s decision-making needs but also creates space for what comes next: AI-infused forecasting, more predictive financial planning, and intelligent automation at scale.
As the client accelerates its digital and data ambitions, the FDL stands as a core engine of that future, turning complexity into control, effort into intelligence, and insight into long-term value
Our collaboration demonstrates how strategic digital transformation can drive efficiency and strengthen an organization’s ability to pursue its core business goals, supporting its position as a strong challenger in the FMCG sector.
