About The Customer
SABMiller plc is one of the world’s leading brewers with more than 200 beer brands and some 70,000 employees in over 75 countries. The firm also has a growing business in soft drinks and is currently one of the world’s largest bottlers of Coca-Cola products. SABMiller plc entered the Indian market under the trading name of SABMiller India in the year 2000 and currently owns ten breweries across nine states in the country, supporting several popular brands such as Haywards, Knock Out, Royal Challenge, Foster`s, Miller High Life, Indus Pride and its premium international brand Peroni Nastro Azzurro.
The Challenge
SABMiller India had stored all of its data on Microsoft SQL Server and ran its Enterprise and Resource Planning (ERP) system on SYSPRO for its commercial business operations of Finance, Manufacturing and Sales and Distribution. All other business processes were supported by over 45 applications and as a result, the company was unable to generate reports by combining data from multiple applications. SAB Miller India needed reporting and analysis to provide the appropriate level of depth and flexibility in order to comply with statutory requirements, as well as for making crucial business decisions. The company was also dealing with reporting challenges. The team were pulling together multiple data sources into one report, which was a time consuming process, and an inaccurate method for reporting.
The Solution
As a first step the SABMiller India IT team pulled together its data sources into one single enterprise data warehouse. The company then started to investigate possible business discovery solutions in the market. They worked with a consultant to help pull together the options available in the market including Microsoft SharePoint, IBM Cognos and QlikView. They then approached Gartner for a recommendation and they suggested QlikView, which gave them great confidence in the solution and proceeded to initiate a proof of concept. SABMiller India now works with KPMG to support its QlikView platform. KPMG India helped them to develop the dashboard views, so that they can make the most of the solution within their business.
Operational Impact
  • The QlikView solution has helped SABMiller India drill down into the finer details of their operations, allowing the team to make discoveries at the state, brand or even stock unit level.
  • In addition to this increased level of depth, the SABMiller India team are now more confident in the data.
  • The QlikView solution visualizes the data in a quick, digestible format enabling their users to easily analyse the data using multiple dimensions and measures criteria and gain immediate insights.
  • With the removal of manual reporting processes, SABMiller users can now focus efforts on the data itself and how it can be used to generate positive outcomes for the business across India.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Reduces reporting times from days to one hour
