Case Study: Leica Biosystems achieves 100% financial compliance and 2x productivity with SAP

Enhancing Financial Reporting, Compliance and Efficiency

Leica Biosystems, a global biotechnology and digital pathology leader, needed to improve financial reporting, compliance, and efficiency while managing regulatory requirements across 26+ countries. Working with SAP, the company faced challenges with IFRS, US GAAP, local reporting standards, limited real-time data, and an ECC general ledger setup that complicated its future SAP S/4HANA migration.

SAP implemented a New General Ledger solution in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, using tools like the SAP General Ledger Migration Cockpit to support parallel accounting, document splitting, and segment reporting. The result was automated financial reporting, 100% compliance across 26 countries, a 2x productivity boost for the global finance team, and a reduction of about 3 manual days per month per country, helping Leica Biosystems move closer to its wider SAP S/4HANA transformation.
