Case Study: a large agricultural company improves SAP performance and deployment confidence with PFLB load testing

Load Testing for SAP Applications

A large agricultural company, a leading meat producer, faced the challenge of ensuring the reliability of its newly implemented SAP ERP system as it centralized its disparate databases. To verify the system could handle its critical business processes, the company hired PFLB to conduct comprehensive load testing using tools like LoadRunner.

PFLB developed load scripts to emulate user activity from multiple production plants, overcoming challenges related to ongoing system updates and coordinating remote teams. The performance testing identified bottlenecks, resulting in a key logistics scenario being completed more than twice as fast and some transactions speeding up by up to eight times. PFLB's work provided the customer with the confidence to deploy the system into production, leading to a successful outcome and a follow-up project to test a new SAP warehouse management system.
