Case Study: Compass Group Netherlands achieves massive SAP time savings and error reduction with Precisely Automate Studio

Compass Group Netherlands Saves Thousands of SAP Data Processing Hours with Precisely Automate Studio

Compass Group Netherlands, part of the global Compass Group, faced fragmented SAP landscapes and time‑consuming, error‑prone manual processes while preparing to move to SAP for Retail and eventually SAP S/4HANA. To merge systems, automate complex SAP workflows and migrate master and transaction data without using SAP’s legacy LSMW tool, they selected Precisely and its Excel‑to‑SAP platform, Precisely Automate Studio.

Precisely implemented Automate Studio to drive mass data changes, automate reporting and eliminate manual entry, delivering immediate, measurable gains: a monthly profit‑and‑loss task that took four days was reduced to three hours; 300 accounts were created in an hour (saving at least 50 hours versus 10 minutes per account); invoice attachments that took two days are now produced in two hours with 100% accuracy; a 3,000‑invoice backlog that would have taken ~500 manual hours was resolved in about 10 hours with a script; and onboarding automation saves roughly 250 hours annually. Compass will continue to rely on Precisely Automate Studio for master‑data maintenance and the upcoming SAP S/4HANA migration.
