Case Study: DEUTZ AG achieves consistent KPIs and faster centralized reporting with SAP SuccessFactors

How Can a Fast-Growing Traditional Company Better Steer Its Business

DEUTZ AG, the Cologne-based engine manufacturer, was struggling with fragmented analytics: three separate solutions, inconsistent KPIs, poor data quality, and time-consuming manual preparation. To modernize reporting, DEUTZ consolidated on SAP Analytics Cloud with SAP Business Warehouse powered by SAP HANA and planned embedded reporting into solutions such as SAP SuccessFactors.

By centralizing analytics with SAP Analytics Cloud and creating a live single source of truth (with plans for embedded reporting in SAP SuccessFactors), DEUTZ eliminated multiple departmental KPI versions, automated manager reporting, and enabled ad-hoc analyses and dynamic dashboards. The change delivered measurable gains — replacing up to a day per week spent searching for data with one-click access, improved transparency and decision making (notably in production controlling), and consistent KPIs across the company.
