Case Study: PI Industries achieves 15% faster hiring and 100% digital HR with SAP SuccessFactors

PI Industries Nurturing a Rapidly Expanding Workforce with Digital HR

PI Industries, a fast-growing agrochemicals company with about 3,000 employees aiming to double revenues, faced fragmented on‑premise HR systems and manual processes after rapid organic growth and acquisitions. To recruit, hire, onboard, train, and manage talent at speed and scale while improving data quality and the employee experience, PI Industries selected SAP SuccessFactors as its unified, cloud‑based HR platform.

SAP SuccessFactors implemented Employee Central plus Recruiting, Onboarding, Performance & Goals, and Learning (with SAP Preferred Success support) to create a single source of truth and automate HR workflows. The change replaced disparate systems, delivered 100% digital HR services and 100% adoption across locations, cut onboarding from 8 to 2 hours, sped time‑to‑fill by 15%, saved recruiters 20% time and ~100 hours/month on admin work, enabled onboarding of 800 new hires (a 25% YoY increase), completed performance reviews on schedule, and ensured zero disruption during COVID‑19.
