Mondelēz International selects admation to service its global marketing approvals
Operating across 150 countries, Mondelēz International required an approval workflow solution to streamline LEGAL approvals for the production of packaging, POS material, digital content and television advertising. The system needed to provide high level visibility over approvals, improve accuracy and be highly agile to fit with each region’s specific marketing workflows.
In 2016, automaton successfully responded to Mondelēz International’s software tender. As a result, admation was selected to replace two legacy systems in North and South America, and was also implemented across marketing departments in AMEA, Europe and APAC.
Post-implementation of admation
Admation has enabled each regional marketing department to create unique approval workflows to suit their requirements. Head Office has administrator rights to view all work across every department. Admation now services over 1,200 users throughout all regions with an average of 200+ approvals per week across all media globally.
Admation features that have streamlined Mondelēz International’s marketing approvals

The benefits of implementing admation have been manifold for Mondelēz International
