Case Study: Tsogo Sun achieves streamlined SAP financial reporting and eliminates costly ABAP specialists with insightsoftware's GL Wand

Gaming and Entertainment Group Streamlines and Simplifies SAP Financial Reporting

Tsogo Sun, a large hospitality group, faced complex SAP financial-reporting challenges: frequent ad-hoc reporting requests, bulk SAP downloads, and no in-house ABAP skills, which forced reliance on costly external ABAP specialists and created slow, resource‑intensive report development. To address this, Tsogo Sun evaluated insightsoftware’s GL Wand as a potential solution.

insightsoftware deployed GL Wand after a demo at the 2010 SAPHILA conference and the solution was implemented within months—20 licenses were in place by February 2011 (later upgraded to GL Wand 4.06 on SAP ECC 6). The software required minimal training for Excel‑proficient users, eliminated the need for expensive external ABAP developers, sped up report delivery, and removed reporting bottlenecks for Tsogo Sun.
