Empresa química italiana alcança a harmonização de processos com o SAP S/4HANA

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 To evolve their enterprise, the sports giant decided to replace their outdated planning software with SAP Analytics Cloud for planning.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.

Fundado em 1941, nosso cliente é uma das empresas químicas italianas mais ativas no mercado internacional, cujo negócio principal se concentra em três macro áreas de negócios: Produtos químicos, polímeros de alto desempenho e soluções têxteis avançadas.

O Desafio

Nosso cliente queria iniciar um projeto de transformação digital para toda a área de negócios Advanced Textile Solutions (ATS), uma empresa líder no setor de fibras sintéticas.
Reconhecendo o cenário em evolução do setor, o objetivo era aproveitar o poder da tecnologia para otimizar suas operações e processos, estabelecendo modelos padronizados com base nas práticas recomendadas do setor e do grupo específico. Com isso, eles buscaram recuperar eficiências valiosas nas atividades de gerenciamento e controle no nível do grupo. Um dos principais focos foi simplificar e harmonizar o mapa de aplicativos em toda a área de negócios, abrindo caminho para processos otimizados e coerentes.

A Abordagem

Em resposta às necessidades do cliente, a Avvale realizou um projeto Greenfield em 2022 para implementar um novo sistema ERP SAP S/4HANA em toda a área de negócios específica da ATS.
Devido ao grande número de empresas nessa área, junto com o cliente, decidimos projetar um roteiro evolutivo, começando estrategicamente com duas empresas do grupo em estreita colaboração. 
O objetivo era criar um modelo global, considerando a integração perfeita do novo sistema ERP com o software legado existente no grupo, para o gerenciamento integrado de processos gerenciais e logísticos dentro da área de negócios da ATS.

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

O Impacto

Essa solução inovadora de ERP proporcionou benefícios notáveis ao nosso cliente, aumentando a eficiência operacional e a sustentabilidade. Ao definir um modelo global baseado nas práticas recomendadas do grupo, foi possível obter um gerenciamento integrado e homogêneo dos processos do grupo, permitindo uma estratégia de implementação coesa e harmonizada para futuros esforços de digitalização em toda a organização. A implementação do SAP S/4HANA vai além da eficiência operacional: ela promove ativamente a sustentabilidade em toda a organização. Ao otimizar os processos, nosso cliente pode reduzir o desperdício e simplificar as operações, garantindo que cada recurso seja usado em seu potencial máximo.
