Case Study: ARI achieves faster innovation and same-day custom invoice reporting with SAP HANA, express edition

How Can the Freedom to Innovate Faster Help an IT Team Improve Fleet Management Services for Customers Around the World

ARI, the world’s largest privately held, family-owned fleet management company, needed to accelerate its innovation cycle to keep customers’ costs down and stay competitive. Although already using SAP HANA, ARI faced separate analytics and telematics systems that hindered decision support and real-time maintenance insights, and routine tasks like custom invoice reporting took a day or more.

By piloting SAP HANA, express edition, ARI enabled developers to vet ideas quickly—offline if needed—and move concepts to production faster. The proof of concept delivered same-day custom invoice reporting, cut managed data by 50–60%, freed two developers for new projects, and let business users respond to customer needs much more quickly.
