Case Study: Grünenthal achieves faster, more efficient global planning with SAP Integrated Business Planning

Making Way for Research and Innovation with SAP Integrated Business Planning

Grunenthal, an international pharmaceutical company focused on chronic pain treatment, faced challenges with its inefficient and fragmented integrated business planning process. Using a variety of different applications, the company needed a single global IT solution to enhance planning efficiency and transparency to better support its research and development goals. To address this, they turned to vendor SAP for a solution.

SAP implemented its SAP Integrated Business Planning application for sales and operations to create a unified global planning platform. The rapid implementation was completed in under 10 months and deployed across 32 countries. The solution led to increased productivity, high user adoption, and a decreased reliance on internal IT support, allowing Grunenthal to focus more effectively on its innovative research.
