Case Study: Axalta Coating Systems achieves 30% cost reduction and a more digital workplace with Avanade

Avanade helps Axalta realize a more digital workplace, reducing overall costs by 30%

Axalta Coating Systems, a global maker of liquid and powder coatings, faced a fragmented and time‑consuming price‑change approval process across its Asia‑Pacific branches after rapid growth. Different local systems and manual, email‑based workflows made approvals slow, error‑prone and hard to track, creating an urgent need for an integrated, digital solution.

Avanade built the Axalta Price Approval System (APAS) on Microsoft SharePoint, delivering mobile real‑time requests, workflow‑based approvals, SAP synchronization, bulk data import and Excel verification reports. The new system streamlined approvals, improved data accuracy and productivity, provided a consistent user experience with minimal training, and cut overall costs by 30%, moving Axalta closer to a comprehensive digital workplace.
