Case Study: Hillyard achieves centralized SAP batch scheduling with HONICO BatchMan

Centralized batch job scheduling for organizing background processes with the upgrade to SAP

Hillyard turned to HONICO to address growing complexity in SAP background processing. As more branches were moved to SAP, the company faced a rising volume of daily, weekly, and monthly reports and tasks with strict dependencies, making it difficult to schedule jobs efficiently or handle errors with standard SAP tools. HONICO’s BatchMan was selected as the job scheduling and automation solution.

With HONICO BatchMan, Hillyard gained centralized control of batch jobs, automated dependency handling, and flexible reactions to job terminations and errors. The solution improved processing efficiency by using available background resources more fully and also enabled reports to be saved automatically as PDFs on the corporate intranet. As a result, Hillyard simplified operations, reduced manual intervention, and established a scalable approach for ongoing SAP workload automation.
