The world's largest producer of bricks and the European leader in clay roof tiles, Wienerberger's business is characterized by strong seasonal fluctuations in demand. But slow IT performance, lack of functionality, and high support costs were making it difficult to improve sales planning, forecasting, and budgeting processes.
The central deployment of the planning applications kit for the SAP® Business Warehouse application powered by SAP HANA® allows Wienerberger to take a more granular, bottom-up approach to sales planning. The solution enables the business to make better, more-aligned decisions and IT to reduce support costs by up to 70% and accelerate the rollout of solution enhancements.
