Case Study: Shapoorji Pallonji Group achieves a 7-day financial close and a scalable, integrated platform with SAP HANA

Shapoorji Pallonji Digitally Transforms to Drive Sustainable Growth and Engineer a Better Planet

Shapoorji Pallonji is a 150‑year‑old Indian conglomerate operating across engineering, construction, infrastructure, real estate, water, energy, and financial services, with 70,000 employees and hundreds of concurrent projects worldwide. Rapid growth exposed limits in a heavily customized legacy ERP, slow static reporting, manual HR and procurement processes, and a 25‑day monthly financial close — driving the need for a scalable, integrated, secure digital platform to improve agility and support continued expansion.

Partnering with SAP, the company implemented an integrated business technology platform (SAP S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, SAP Analytics Cloud, BW/4HANA, SAP Cloud Platform, Fiori, and Identity Authentication) to create a single source of truth and automate end‑to‑end processes. Results included reducing the monthly close from 25 to 7 days, a 15% increase in development productivity, a 20% cut in annual access‑management effort, faster, regionally granular reporting, harmonized HR and e‑procurement (vendor portal delivered in 4 months) and overall improved visibility, security, and employee productivity.
