Case Study: Sobeys achieves nationwide HR transformation and greater employee efficiency with SAP SuccessFactors

How Is Innovative People Management Transforming a Regional Business into a National Organization

Sobeys Inc., one of only two national grocery chains in Canada with 90,000 employees across more than 1,500 stores, needed to transform into a true national organization by improving employee efficiency and automating HR processes. To achieve harmonized, scalable HR and extensive employee self‑service, Sobeys partnered with SAP SuccessFactors and SAP Preferred Success services to identify and design a modern, integrated HR solution.

SAP SuccessFactors (with SAP Preferred Success) implemented a core hybrid architecture that integrated Sobeys’ on‑premise payroll with cloud‑based SuccessFactors modules, harmonized HR processes nationwide, and delivered self‑service and automation for employees. The solution enabled Sobeys to manage its 90,000‑strong workforce across 1,500+ stores more efficiently, supporting its growth and employee‑management goals.
