Databricks, a technology vendor, was scaling all aspects of its business. As such, reviewing thousands of external communications was becoming overwhelming for its small editorial staff. When an email was flagged as containing grammatical errors just before it was sent to thousands of customers, the need for technology to streamline communications was brought into stark relief. Databricks deployed Grammarly Business across its marketing, sales, support, IT, finance, and engineering departments. All groups saw productivity and writing quality improvements from automated writing suggestions and accelerated review processes. Other benefits include revised training services, accelerated employee onboarding, and the upskilling of employees.

RPO provider Field of Talent achieved a 916 percent ROI upon its implementation of PivotCX by Daxtra. The company also recovered its initial investment in the software 1.2 months after deployment. Candidate texting capabilities within its existing applicant tracking system did not have the functionality required to meet recruiter needs, leading the organization to implement PivotCX by Daxtra for the engagement of candidates both internally and for clients. Nucleus found that efficiencies driven by candidate texting through PivotCX by Daxtra led active applicants to be engaged three times faster and enabled the organization to redeploy the work of 1.5 FTEs to higher-value tasks, leading to annual savings of more than $120,000 annually.

The City of Glendale, Arizona, achieved a 514 percent ROI upon implementing Moveworks and recovered its initial investment in the technology less than four months after deployment. The city was previously managing its IT helpdesk tickets through traditional channels such as phone, e-mail, and online portal, which were unable to scale with ongoing developments. Nucleus found that upon the implementation of Moveworks and introduction of generative AI-driven IT chatbot, Blaze, the City of Glendale was able to avoid current and future service desk costs, reduce travel costs, and free up agent time to manage higher-tier issues. Blaze was able to take over the work of one service agent FTE, resulting in annual savings of $121,500. Additionally, the solution saved city employees more than 3,500 collective hours per year, translating to associated cost savings of more than $85,000.

AAH Pharmaceuticals achieved a 388 percent ROI by deploying RELEX Solutions forecasting and replenishment module to improve how the organization manages its forecasting and replenishment from the retail shelf to the manufacturer and with over 1000 vendors. With improved SCP practices, the organization reduced inventory carrying costs by $12.5M over three years. This was achieved by using RELEX to remove unnecessary inventory, minimize safety stock where volume was too low, and add safety stock maxes where the stock was being overbought, creating a clearer focus on high-value purchases and better visibility. Additionally, the organization saved approximately 25 to 27 analysts one to two hours per day by automating order proposals and exception management processes, indirectly saving the organization $568,947. RELEX Solutions allowed the analysts to focus on more proactive tasks such as forecasting and department collaboration.

The Texas Rangers achieved a 375 percent ROI by deploying the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform to drive efficient data storage and processing and better enable the organization’s internal data teams. The franchise noted specific benefits, including 4x improved cost-effectiveness relative to its prior cloud-based data warehouse, 10x improved cost-effectiveness for data ingestion use cases, and a 61 percent productivity improvement across the sports franchise’s data teams. This efficiency has fostered improved collaboration among analysts, players, and coaches, driving 2x more data available at lower latency.

Oviva achieved a 301 percent ROI upon implementing HiBob and recovered its initial investment in the software less than five months after deployment. The private healthcare company was previously using a lightweight HCM platform that didn’t offer the functionality necessary to scale with its global growth. Nucleus found that upon deploying HiBob, Oviva was able to avoid additional administrative hires, increase new hire onboarding productivity, improve employee engagement, and reduce employee turnover by 10.5 percent. Adding the vendor’s compensation module also enabled the organization to save more than £63,000 in the first year of its use due to improved budget allocation.
