Case Study: Asian Paints achieves real-time analytics and faster decision-making with SAP HANA and SAP IQ

Enabling Real-Time Analytics Across Growing Data Volumes

Asian Paints, India's largest paint supplier, faced significant data access and usability challenges due to its rapid growth and massive data volumes from over 35,000 dealers. The company needed a solution to enable real-time analytics to meet ambitious service goals and manage seasonal demand effectively. To address this, they turned to vendor SAP for a new data platform.

SAP implemented a solution combining the SAP HANA platform and SAP IQ software for near-line storage. This provided Asian Paints with real-time access to both current and historical data, streamlining analytics across the enterprise. The results were substantial, including a 90% improvement in data extraction performance, a 6:1 data compression ratio, and the ability to compile complex inventory reports in seconds instead of days, enabling more agile decision-making.
