Özsüt, which reaches consumers at 165 locations in 40 provinces with a wide range from milk desserts to ice cream and bakery products, carried out a project covering SAP BusinessObjects BI and SAP BPC with SAP partner D-CAT to consolidate and standardize its reports.
Challenge
Planning to keep growing fast, Özsüt aimed to consolidate and standardize its reports and analyses, make them available at any time, speed up decision-making and raise efficiency.
- Simplify the reports prepared by different departments and speed up report preparation.
- Remove the difficulties reporting teams faced whenever a different analysis was requested.
- End the delays traveling managers faced in accessing reports.
- Remove the burden of constantly comparing budget and target figures kept outside SAP with sales data from SAP.
What we did
Özsüt decided to launch its business intelligence project in 2012. The rollout was planned module by module and began with the SD module; planning, testing and training were completed in two months. With the SAP BPC project scheduled for completion in 2013, budgeting and consolidation were also to be integrated with SAP.
Result
- Time once spent preparing reports now goes into analyzing them.
- Target and actual reports can be followed as they are updated.
- Integrating non-SAP information into the system made evaluations easier.
- Managers reach reports online whenever they want and follow summary figures and trends on dashboards.
“Thanks to flexible reporting, we can now complete in 1–2 hours an analysis that would have taken 2–3 days. With the speed we have gained, we can respond quickly to the problems we identify.”
