How TPA Global Cut Benchmarking Time by 80% with ArmsLength AI
In just three months, TPA Global drastically reduced their benchmarking process from 20 hours down to just 4 hours per analysis using ArmsLength AI Benchmarks.
Customer Profile
TPA Global is a leading advisory firm providing transfer pricing solutions to multinational companies across sectors including manufacturing, financial services, and IT. With thousands of comparables to process annually, accuracy and efficiency in benchmarking are critical to their client services.
The Challenge
Before implementing ArmsLength AI Benchmarks, TPA Global relied heavily on manual reviews of transfer pricing benchmarks, which took 15 to 20 hours per analysis for each set of approximately 250 comparables. This approach was not only time-consuming but also limited scalability, creating bottlenecks during peak periods.
The Solution
TPA Global partnered with ArmsLength AI, initially collaborating on development and rigorous testing from November to January. By mid-January, TPA Global integrated ArmsLength AI Benchmarks into their workflow, quickly adopting the intuitive AI-driven platform to automate their comparability reviews and significantly streamline the benchmarking process.
The Results
Within just one week of deployment, TPA Global successfully processed approximately 5,000 companies—a workload that previously would have required substantially more time and resources. Benchmark analyses that once consumed 20 hours were reduced to just 4 hours, including financial analyses and detailed reporting.
TPA Global's clients benefited from improved accuracy, with error rates consistently maintained between 5% and 10%, and significant cost savings through reduced manual labor. According to TPA Global's internal estimates, their team now only manually reviews around 10% of comparables, translating to substantial efficiency gains.
"We've reduced the preparation time for an average benchmarking study by 80%, allowing us to take on more projects and deliver faster to clients."
