Case Study: HELI achieves unified, data-driven intelligent operations and 120% process efficiency with SAP HANA

Intelligent Management Revolution and Localized Innovations on SAP BTP

HELI, a Hefei‑based leader in industrial vehicles and forklifts with ~8,000 employees and decades of market dominance, faced fragmented, manual business processes and no corporate‑level business+finance system. The company struggled to get real‑time supply‑chain and market data, integrate suppliers and customers compliantly, and track product carbon footprints as it pursued its “Three Intelligent and One Network” strategy.

Using SAP Business Technology Platform — including SAP Build Process Automation, SAP Analytics Cloud, Integration Suite and HANA Cloud — HELI built automated processes, a supplier portal and WeChat Enterprise integration to connect 81 group companies and external partners. The result: automated robots and workflows boosted posting/clearing/procurement efficiency by 120%, a unified analytics platform with 100+ data models and real‑time KPIs, improved supply‑chain visibility, a supplier base connection of 300+, and a 30% shift toward service/transport capacity, laying the foundation for data‑driven intelligent operations and carbon tracking.
