How SharpCloud's SAP integration optimized portfolio management for a global automotive manufacturer
Case Study
A global automotive manufacturer faced challenges in effectively managing its portfolios of products across multiple truck companies. With financial and emission data stored in SAP, they struggled to filter and visualize this data efficiently. As a result, project managers and senior users found it difficult to gain actionable insights from SAP, hindering decision-making processes and strategic planning efforts.
The inability to efficiently filter and visualize data in SAP stemmed from its complex interface and limitations in providing dynamic insights. Without a user-friendly solution to extract and visualize financial data, the manufacturer faced difficulties in accessing timely and relevant information to support portfolio management decisions.
