Case Study: SABMiller streamlines global HR management with XCD HR

SABMiller PLC - Customer Case Study

SABMiller, a global brewing company with 70,000 employees in over 80 countries, faced a significant challenge in managing its Senior Management Team. The lack of a single global HR system forced HR to use manual, time-consuming, and error-prone Excel spreadsheets to handle complex global processes like compensation, talent management, and succession planning. To solve this, they partnered with vendor XCD HR to implement a cloud-based solution.

XCD HR designed and built a streamlined cloud HR solution on the Salesforce platform, known internally as HRIS Lite. Using an agile methodology, the first phase was implemented within three months. The solution provided global HR teams with instant access to employee data, eliminating manual processes. As a result, SABMiller gained a single, reliable system for global HR reporting, governance, and management processes, significantly supported by their dedicated XCD HR account manager.
