COVID-19 forced organizations to cut costs, but the industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2021 to 2026. Our client needed a turnaround strategy to adapt to changing market demands.
The organization had abundant data, but it was fragmented and lacked a unified view. This resulted in delays as the right data often failed to reach the right stakeholders at the right time for analysis and insight generation.
To handle continuous cost pressures, the client faced the challenge of optimizing plant operations and improving supply chain effectiveness to drive operational efficiency.
Pre-defined static reports restricted the ability to consume analytics dynamically, leading to delays and reliance on guesswork in the decision-making process.
The client needed to establish a robust analytics community to foster a culture of data-driven decision-making across the organization, ensuring insights could be effectively leveraged for better outcomes.
Applexus engaged with the client to modernize their analytics landscape by unifying data from all the sources in a single platform. Assessing their unique information challenges, Applexus designed a strategy to deliver data-driven insights to support their business priorities.
A unified technology platform was built on SAP Datasphere and SAP Analytics Cloud to integrate data from both SAP and non-SAP sources, ensuring seamless data unification and accessibility.
Modern data architecture and analytics processes were developed to enable self-service analytics, empowering users with actionable insights. Adoption boot camps were conducted to facilitate change management and ensure smooth transition.
High-impact analytics use cases tailored to the manufacturing and chemicals industry, such as spend analytics, customer satisfaction analytics, and plant maintenance/operations analytics, were designed and implemented to address critical business needs.
A collaborative analytics community was established to encourage smarter sharing of insights and foster a data-led decision-making culture. This highlighted the potential of analytics in transforming business operations.
Applexus collaborated with SAP Product Management and SAP COE through an early adopter program to deliver an optimal solution, ensuring cutting-edge technology alignment and success.
The solutions enabled a transition from the on-premise data warehouse to the SAP Business Technology Platform. With an integrated view of the data and self-service consumption of analytics, our client could deliver insight-driven business outcomes. Several high ROI business use cases were built in an agile fashion within 6-8 weeks, ensuring the faster realization of value. The business cases improved the efficiency of supply chain & plant operations and enhanced customer satisfaction. Moreover, with optimized and streamlined operations, overall costs were also reduced.
