Case Study: Dole Packaged Foods streamlines material master creation with Pillir

Streamlining Master Material Creation Processes

Dole Packaged Foods, LLC (DPF) needed a better way to manage material master data creation and approvals across its SAP S/4HANA environment. The company’s paper-, email-, and Excel-based New Information Request Form process was slow, siloed, and prone to data errors, while traditional MDM/MDG or custom SAP development options were too costly or cumbersome.

Pillir implemented a custom web app on its EdgeReady Cloud platform, tightly integrated with SAP to digitize the full materials creation workflow, add validation and staging, and improve visibility across teams. The result was near real-time updates into SAP, improved reporting, faster material master creation, and a 30% reduction in manual labor, all with quick deployment, minimal ABAP programming, and no added infrastructure overhead from Pillir.
