The client is an edible oil manufacturer and dealer who uses SAP systems for all of the major transactions of the company. The client has plants across the country with suppliers and distributors spread across. Data related to oil production, distribution, sales was recorded both in the SAP system of the client and non-SAP systems used by the suppliers and distributors that mostly carried the secondary sales data. It was extremely challenging for the client to combine the data from both SAP system, and other systems that were having unstructured data, thus making real time reporting on sales, deliveries, payments and distribution a complex task. It was taking weeks to months to generate one report across these disparate systems.
