Case Study: World's Foremost Luxury Apparel Brands achieves 92% faster monthly close with Auxiliobits UiPath automation

World’s Foremost Luxury Apparel Brands cuts monthly close time by 92% with Auxiliobits

The customer, one of the world's foremost luxury apparel brands, faced a highly manual and time-consuming Material Ledger Closing process in SAP ECC across its extensive European operations. This multi-day monthly ordeal required skilled finance staff to execute dozens of transaction codes across over 65 plants, consuming up to 10 hours of high-effort work and risking errors that required full restarts. Auxiliobits was engaged to address this challenge.

Auxiliobits implemented an intelligent robotic process automation bot using UiPath to autonomously handle the entire closing lifecycle. The solution replicated and enhanced the manual workflow, from prerequisite validation to period closure, and included automated error monitoring and escalation via ServiceNow. This resulted in a 73% reduction in monthly close processing time, saving 1,920 effort hours annually and achieving over 95% accuracy, which eliminated five manual working days from the finance team's calendar and allowed them to refocus on strategic analysis.
