Case Study: Pep Boys achieves real-time, actionable SAP access risk analysis with ERP Maestro

Pep Boys Transforms SAP Access Controls Data into Actionable Insights with ERP Maestro

Pep Boys, a leading aftermarket auto parts retailer with more than 20,000 associates and over 2,000 service, parts and tire centers, faced a major SAP access-controls challenge: a two-person security team (with one SAP Security Architecture Manager driving day-to-day work) was spending hours or days creating manual spreadsheets and analyzing Segregation of Duties (SOD) and access requests, often working nights and weekends. Pep Boys needed a GRC solution that would save time, organize data for clear visual reporting, and provide auditors and executives real-time visibility—so they turned to ERP Maestro and its Access Analyzer.

ERP Maestro implemented Access Analyzer (and supported Emergency Access Management) to automate SOD processes and present real-time, one‑click risk reports; what once took a full day now takes about five minutes. The ERP Maestro solution reduced cycle time and manual errors, freed security experts to focus on remediation, and gave management and auditors clear, up‑to‑date visibility into risk and compliance—backed by responsive ERP Maestro customer support.
