TTI's focus on customer satisfaction and continuous improvement has positioned them as a key player in the consumer goods industry, catering to a wide range of needs and preferences.
The Challenge
Techtronic Industries (TTI) faced significant challenges with their SAP operations, primarily due to the reliance on a single SAP Specialist for material master uploads. This dependency led to delays, as every data approval required manual intervention from the specialist. The manual processes were not only time-consuming but also prone to errors, where even minor mistakes during uploads could result in hours of backtracking to correct the system. The inefficiency of these processes was a major pain point, as it hindered the company's ability to manage and transform other systems effectively. The need for a more efficient and automated solution was evident to reduce reliance on IT and streamline the master data processes.
The Solution
To address the challenges faced by Techtronic Industries, the company implemented Precisely Automate to streamline their SAP operations. This solution was designed to reduce the reliance on IT for material master uploads and automate the slow, manual processes that were previously in place. By generating a script, the team was able to significantly reduce the time required for uploads, going from a wait of three to five days to mere seconds. This automation not only improved efficiency but also empowered the IT team to focus on strategic initiatives and system transformations. The implementation of Precisely Automate resulted in immediate benefits, including a significant reduction in manual errors and an increase in overall productivity. The solution also provided a morale boost for the team, as they transitioned from a support role to a more proactive process management function.
