Case Study: Saint-Gobain achieves real-time SAP data and 50% lower pipeline costs with Fivetran

Saint-Gobain gains real-time SAP data, optimizes spend with Fivetran

Saint-Gobain, a global leader in construction and industrial materials, needed a better way to manage increasingly complex data across systems like SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, SQL Server, and SAP HANA. Its legacy stack, including SAP SLT and Azure Data Factory, required heavy engineering effort, created fragile custom pipelines, and left the business with data delays of more than 4 hours.

Saint-Gobain implemented Fivetran to automate real-time CDC pipelines and centralize data ingestion across regions and business units, including SAP ERP on HANA and other key sources. With Fivetran, the company cut pipeline build and maintenance costs by 50%, reduced latency from hours to seconds, completed 25+ projects in one year versus 7 the year before, reached 40+ projects in under 18 months, and projected €50,000 in infrastructure savings.
