Case Study: Pet Food Manufacturing Company achieves real-time analytics and scalable growth for e-commerce and international expansion with Protiviti's SAP HANA-based BI solution

Pet food manufacturer expands product offerings, markets and sales channels

Pet Food Manufacturing Company turned to Protiviti to replace slow, manual reporting with a scalable, trusted analytics platform that could support rapid growth, an upcoming IPO, a new manufacturing plant, and expansion into e-commerce and international markets. The challenge was to move from monthly, spreadsheet-driven processes to real-time, easy-to-use reporting while ensuring data reliability and flexibility for future change.

Protiviti designed and implemented an enterprise data warehouse and BI environment built on the SAP HANA platform, adding visualization and governance tools, executive dashboards, and integration of sales/electronic data with ERP for real-time production, distribution and inventory reporting. The SAP HANA-based solution enabled international expansion into nine countries, new distribution channels, over 700 monthly users and more than 11,000 report executions, reduced BI resource needs, and proactive data-quality monitoring to prevent operational disruptions.
