Case Study: Spectris achieves faster, more accurate financial consolidation and planning with SAP Analytics Cloud

Empowering Financial Consolidation, Analytics & Planning with SAP Analytics Cloud

Spectris, a global manufacturing and precision instruments company, needed a modern replacement for its aging SAP BPC-based reporting process, which relied on manual spreadsheet uploads, tabular reports, and multiple data entry points. The old approach made it difficult to deliver clear, visual financial information to stakeholders worldwide and could no longer support the growing volume and complexity of data.

SAP, working with implementation partner Codestone, deployed SAP Analytics Cloud alongside SAP BW/4HANA and SAP BPC to create a unified, automated financial consolidation, analytics, and planning environment. The result was 95% user adoption after go-live, a 50% reduction in month-end close and consolidation time, and 100% on-time delivery of strategic reports, with automated feeds processing over 20 ERP systems and millions of records each month.
