Case Study: Canac achieves faster real-time reporting with SAP Datasphere

How can retailers deliver seamless and scalable access to mission- critical business data

Canac, the Canadian hardware and construction materials retailer, needed faster access to real-time, actionable reporting and better data integration as it moved away from a legacy system. The company worked with SAP and Beyond Technologies to modernize analytics in the cloud, using SAP Datasphere to improve operational reporting across its 32 stores and 25,000+ products.

With SAP, Canac implemented a public-cloud data and reporting solution that simplified access to business data, improved inventory and sales reporting, and reduced the need for extensive maintenance. The results included a stronger technology strategy, lower total cost of ownership, and more agile operations; inaccurate data debugging dropped from 1–2 days to 20–30 minutes, and purchase price change reviews became 5X faster.
