In 2022, Gatronova Group deployed SAP Analytics Cloud as the enterprise analytics layer to support its wider SAP-led integration program. SAP Analytics Cloud is positioned in the Analytics and BI stack to deliver real-time dashboards, financial planning and predictive analytics for executive and operational decision makers across the group.
The implementation of SAP Analytics Cloud was configured to consume data from SAP BW/4HANA and to surface planning and forecasting capabilities tied to material requirements planning and month-end financial close workflows. Functional capabilities implemented include consolidated financial reporting, operational dashboards for manufacturing and logistics, and predictive planning models to combine sales forecasts with current orders and inventory for supply chain optimization.
SAP Analytics Cloud was integrated into an SAP-centric architecture that includes SAP S/4HANA on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications, SAP HANA System Replication for database resiliency, and SAP SuccessFactors for HR data. The infrastructure stack for the analytics and transactional systems runs on IBM Power E950 servers with IBM FlashSystem storage, automated backups via IBM Spectrum Protect to an IBM TS4300 Tape Library, logical partitions for workload consolidation, and a SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability cluster to support continuous operations, deployment work that involved IBM Systems Lab Services and Infotech Group.
Operational scope covers 36 legal entities across Gatronova Group, with a significant process consolidation that reduced approximately 2,800 distinct workflows down to 150 standardized SAP workflows. The rollout is phased, switching 26 legal entities to the new SAP platform in an initial wave followed by the remaining 10 entities, and targets business functions including finance, supply chain planning, manufacturing operations, warehouse and logistics, and HR.
Governance and process changes center on establishing a single source of truth and embedding SAP global best practices for core processes such as procure-to-pay and financial accounting. The program explicitly targets faster month-end closing and more responsive supply chain planning, with a predicted acceleration of month-end close by up to 75 percent, and a stated platform capacity headroom of 33 percent on the IBM infrastructure to support future growth and acquisitions.
