A global solar and energy storage company faced operational friction caused by outdated financial systems, manual processes, and siloed data. Partnering with our team, they implemented SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud in under six months—transforming finance operations across 40+ entities. The result: real-time visibility, a 5-day financial close, audit readiness, and improved decision-making. This transformation turned their SAP system from a cost center into a strategic business asset.
The Challenge
As a rapidly growing provider of utility-scale solar and energy storage solutions across Europe and the Americas, the company struggled with outdated financial systems that couldn’t keep pace with its complex, multi-entity structure. Finance operations relied heavily on email and spreadsheets, resulting in:
- Fragmented visibility into the company’s full financial picture
- A manual, error-prone vendor payment process
- Difficulty consolidating project spend and controlling budgets
- Inefficient finance close cycles
- Audit challenges and multiple disparate data sources hindering timely, confident decisions
These operational inefficiencies created risk, stifled growth, and left hidden value trapped in their systems and processes.
The Decision
The leadership team recognized that incremental fixes wouldn’t cut it. They needed a scalable, future-ready platform—and a partner who could help them unlock the full value of SAP. Our proven ability to bridge the gap between what SAP can do and how teams use it to drive real outcomes made us the clear choice.
The Transformation
Together, we implemented SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud across finance (FI), controlling (CO), project systems (PS), materials management (MM), and consolidation (CONS). In under six months, we:
- Built a robust SAP foundation across 40+ companies
- Established new master data elements reflecting how the business transacts
- Enabled consistent, transparent reporting—both historical and real-time
- Empowered employees with SAP best practices and self-service capabilities
This wasn’t just a system deployment—it was an operational reset.
The Results
With SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud fully operational, the company now runs as a more agile, data-driven enterprise:
- 5-day financial close with reduced journal entry volume
- Real-time financial visibility across 40+ global entities
- Greater control over project spend and proactive budget tracking
- Streamlined audits and reduced audit-related costs
- Improved data integrity with a single source of truth
- Higher user engagement and SAP adoption across the workforce
- Scalability to onboard additional European entities with ease
- Better decisions, faster—powered by SAP Analytics
They’ve transformed SAP from a complex cost center into a catalyst for profitable growth.
When operational complexity and outdated systems threaten growth, a bold transformation is required. We help companies like this unlock profit hidden in their operations and turn SAP into a strategic asset—not an underutilized expense.
