Case Study: HELLA achieves productivity gains and significant time and cost savings with Avanade's cloud-based document collaboration solution

HELLA drives productivity with modern document collaboration solution

HELLA, a global automotive supplier specializing in lighting and electronics with sales teams in 125 locations across 35 countries, faced an overly complex, high-risk document management environment. Customer information lived on multiple stand‑alone servers and was often shared by email, making documents hard to find, slowing decision making and creating financial and compliance risks for the sales organization.

Avanade implemented a cloud‑first solution that integrates SharePoint Online with HELLA’s legacy Salesforce system, automatically creating a central document repository for each opportunity and enabling real‑time collaboration and global access. The result is a single source of truth that reduces IT overhead, delivers significant time savings and measurable ROI (hundreds of thousands of euros annually), and boosts productivity, transparency and employee engagement.
