Case Study: Blount boosts global HR performance with SAP SuccessFactors

Blount Propelling Continuous Improvement with SAP SuccessFactors Talent Solutions

Oregon Tool, formerly known as Blount International, is a global manufacturer of industrial cutting equipment. The company faced the challenge of needing to unify its HR processes across six continents to better compete for and retain top talent, while also creating a single, centralized source of truth for all global employee data. To address this, they partnered with the vendor SAP SuccessFactors.

SAP SuccessFactors implemented a comprehensive suite of cloud solutions, including Recruiting, Onboarding, Compensation, and Performance & Goals. This provided a unified HR platform that automated processes and enabled mobile self-service. The results included a 7% increase in internal promotions within a year, faster hiring of higher-quality candidates, greater HR efficiency, and lower operational costs. The successful deployment was supported by implementation partner Whitaker-Taylor.
