43% more invoices per person in an automated Procure-to-Pay cycle

Purchasing teams spent hours on each invoice, and the cycle had gaps in control. NTT DATA reviewed operations, tools and the organizational model, then built a roadmap with four automation scenarios. Each person in the process now handles 43% more invoices, and the process runs with 34% fewer full-time employees.

Marketplaces don't fail because of technology. They fail when value is unclear.

WHY THIS “MARKETPLACE SUCCESS FACTORS” CHALLENGE?

Many marketplaces struggle when relevance, governance or value clarity are too weak to sustain adoption.

For CPG organizations, success means balancing what buyers need, what sellers gain and how efficiently the platform runs. Strong marketplaces build adoption before scale, turning relevance into the foundation for monetization.

Key Benefits

Relevance Before Scale

Turn relevance into adoption

Clear value helps attract active buyers and keeps the marketplace useful from the start.

Make monetization easier to reach

Strong positioning and seller value create better conditions for revenue growth.

Balance the ecosystem

Successful marketplaces align buyer demand, seller participation and operating efficiency.

Compete through sharper value

Clear governance and differentiated relevance help platforms respond to competitive pressure.

HOW NTT DATA HELPS

Diagnose marketplace readiness

Assess relevance, governance, value clarity and operating conditions before scaling the platform.
