Case Study: Li & Fung Limited achieves 50% faster night batch processing and streamlined financial consolidation with Oracle Exalytics and Hyperion Planning (Oracle)

Li & Fung Processes Night Batches 50% Faster, Improves Financial Consolidation Cycle Efficiency, and Supports Better Decision-Making

Li & Fung Ltd., a Hong Kong–based leader in consumer-goods design, sourcing and logistics serving major global retailers, needed faster enterprise performance management and more timely financial consolidation across its 300 business locations. The company’s finance team faced long nightly batch-processing times and manual data aggregation that slowed actual and forecast consolidation and hindered rapid decision-making.

Li & Fung implemented Oracle Exalytics with Oracle Hyperion Planning and Oracle WebLogic Server, automating data aggregation and boosting compute capacity. As a result, nightly batches run 50% faster (under five hours vs. 10), freeing about 900 man‑hours per quarter, reducing licensing costs with Oracle Enterprise Linux, improving P&L and cash‑flow analysis by product and country, and enabling near‑24/7 global finance operations.
