Steigerung der Effizienz: Mittelamerikanischer Automobilhersteller senkt SAP-Datenbankspeicher um 50%

While they expertly deliver innovation and quality to their customers, Callaway Golf’s previous planning and reporting tool wasn’t making the cut. To evolve their enterprise, the sports giant decided to replace their outdated planning software with SAP Analytics Cloud for planning.

Together with Avvale, Callaway Golf successfully implemented SAP Analytics Cloud across their global enterprise in just 6 months. Now, Callaway Golf has a single, consolidated planning solution that has enabled streamlined expense and asset plans so they can focus on what they do best– revolutionizing the sporting world with cutting edge equipment.

Unser Kunde ist eine bahnbrechende Kraft in der Automobilbranche in ganz Mittelamerika, die sich für Spitzenleistungen und Kundenzufriedenheit einsetzt. Das Unternehmen bietet eine breite Palette von Lösungen an, vom Fahrzeugverkauf über die Wartung bis hin zur Finanzierung, und vertritt die bekanntesten Fahrzeugmarken in Ländern wie El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras und Costa Rica.

Die Herausforderung

In dem Bestreben, die Effizienz zu steigern, die Kosten zu senken und die Systemleistung zu verbessern, sah sich unser Kunde aufgrund des großen Datenvolumens, das von seinem SAP-ERP-System erzeugt wurde, mit erheblichen Herausforderungen konfrontiert. Die Komplexität der Verwaltung dieser Daten stellte ein Hindernis für den Betrieb dar und behinderte die Innovations- und Wachstumsfähigkeit des Unternehmens.

The Challenge

Before integrating SAP Analytics Cloud, Callaway Golf's planning landscape centered around SAP's legacy planning solution, Business Planning and Simulation (BPS). While BPS met Callaway Golf's planning needs for many years, the enterprise began to experience limitations with their old solution:

  • Disconnected plans across the board: As Callaway Golf expanded and acquired new brands, planning processes greatly differed across the enterprise with some business units using Excel spreadsheets and others using legacy solutions for planning.
  • Outdated planning functionalities: The existing legacy planning solution lacked many modern functionalities. Among them, salary calculations and asset depreciation automation needed improvement. As a result, it became difficult to create detailed and accurate forecasts across the globe.
  • Significant IT support: The legacy solution required continuous management from IT to maintain runtime. IT had to carve out a full day every week to manually maintain the solution.
  • No single source of truth: Various departments and brands used different data sources, which led to data silos across the organization, making it difficult to gain a clear picture of the enterprise's planned expenses.
  • Rigid user interface: Legacy forecasting system was difficult to navigate and lacked working functions and calculations across the board, such as planning on depreciation and existing assets, adding vendors or members on the fly, and breaking down their cost center expense planning forecasts.

The Approach

With Avvale experts on their side, Callaway Golf laid out the following goals for their new planning landscape with SAP Analytics Cloud:

  • Crowdsource and consolidate plans across the enterprise to gain a global overview of their planned expenses and expand the input capabilities to each responsible owner.
  • Leverage elevated planning functionalities to create faster and more accurate forecast cost center expense and asset reports. The ability to customize calculations enhances and automates the reporting metrics.
  • Harness the power of self-service analytics to alleviate IT from the burden of simple maintenance and data entry requests, so they can focus on high-ROI tasks.
  • Maximize user-driven admin capabilities to control the management of calculations and forms.
  • Create new KPls driven by the business needs.

When SEM-BPS was the center of Callaway Golf's planning landscape, flexibility was a huge factor that was missing. SAP Analytics Cloud contains powerful scenario planning capabilities that help organizations quickly uncover actionable insights to make data-driven decisions. For Callaway Golf, SAP Analytics Cloud's modern planning functionalities provided users with the ability to:

  • Add members on the fly
  • Plan on existing as well as planned assets and automatically calculate the depreciation of values
  • Test "what-if" scenarios for deeper analysis by creating private versions of plans
  • Customize the solution based on their current business process
  • Perform driver-based calculations
  • Empower users to execute end-to-end planning scenarios, without the help of IT

Wie die Lösung hilft

Unser Kunde erhielt die volle Kontrolle über das Datenbankwachstum und gewann fast 1 TB Speicherplatz und 600 GB Arbeitsspeicher zurück. Die Implementierung der SAP-Datenarchivierung führte zu einer Verringerung des Datenbankspeicherbedarfs des Kunden um 50 %, was zu erheblichen Kosteneinsparungen und einer verbesserten Reaktionsfähigkeit des Systems führte. Mit der Unterstützung von Avvale konnte der Kunde nicht nur unmittelbare Herausforderungen bewältigen, sondern auch eine Grundlage für nachhaltiges Wachstum und Innovation in seinem Betrieb schaffen.
