Avvale | Estudo de Caso | Gas Station Franchise

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 To evolve their enterprise, the sports giant decided to replace their outdated planning software with SAP Analytics Cloud for planning.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

O Desafio

Nosso cliente usou um cenário de cenário duplo que suporta operações de manutenção e novos desenvolvimentos em paralelo. Eles precisavam de uma solução que permitisse o gerenciamento de mudanças novas e incrementais, sem sobrepor e impactar as operações comerciais em andamento.

Dado o tamanho crescente da empresa e a complexidade cada vez maior de seu cenário de TI, nosso cliente percebeu que precisava de uma solução integrada que permitisse o rastreamento centralizado, o monitoramento e o gerenciamento de ponta a ponta de problemas, aprimoramentos e solicitações. Eles buscavam uma maneira de capturar e rastrear os problemas relatados pelos funcionários em um nível compatível com os padrões da Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL).

A Abordagem

O cliente pode gerenciar e solucionar problemas relacionados ao software e, ao mesmo tempo, mover seus aprimoramentos de paisagens para o go-live, em total conformidade com os padrões ITIL, graças ao controle regulatório e às verificações de consistência. Aproveitando a ferramenta Retrofit da ChaRM, eles podem automatizar as etapas manuais e agilizar as mudanças.

O rastreamento adequado de problemas permite que nosso cliente antecipe desafios e responda com eficiência. O gerenciamento eficaz de mudanças reduz os riscos de que os aprimoramentos passem por seu cenário de software e afetem os sistemas de produção. Em última análise, a empresa consegue realizar projetos contínuos sem afetar os sistemas de produção. A implementação bem-sucedida abre as portas para uma maior adoção da funcionalidade do SAP Solution Manager, incluindo planos futuros para a transformação digital.

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
