CasaLuker SAP Case Study
As one of Colombia’s largest consumer products companies, chocolate maker CasaLuker
understands the importance of managing growth. Faced with a burgeoning domestic
usiness as well as growth in overseas markets such as Europe, company leadership over
the past decade has been looking for ways to transform business processes to align with
new growth and demands.
Central to the vision of transformation has been a need to integrate processes and systems
across the enterprise—to pull together procurement, manufacturing and logistics and deliver
a comprehensive view into the enterprise. For CasaLuker, making that vision a reality
involved investing heavily in its existing SAP® infrastructure and enlisting Deloitte
professionals for critical assistance
Investing in growth
With a workforce of 2,200 employees and a chocolatemaking legacy extending back more
than 100 years, CasaLuker stands as a major and growing player in the South American
consumer goods landscape. Outside of Colombia, its offices in Russia, Panama and
Ecuador continue to extend their reach into new markets, today providing products in 25
countries.
With growth part of the recipe for CasaLuker, smart planning has been a necessity. Helping
the company to operate effectively over the past two decades has been a core of SAP ERP
functionality. For more than a decade, CasaLuker has relied on SAP solutions to help run
finance and other central operations. But with the shape of the business changing in 2009—
ecoming a more consolidated global organization—the company needed a refreshed and
integrated system to support global business processes and deliver business intelligence
which could support better decision making across the board. To get there, company
leadership saw promise in a new set of solutions leveraging the in-memory computing power
of SAP HANA®.
The right ingredients
To begin putting together the pieces for supporting an effective business transformation,
CasaLuker worked with Deloitte to develop a process that would help ensure that milestones
were met strategically—based on business priorities and needed capabilities. The resulting
threephase project provided a clear path to an SAP-powered organization. Following the
deployment of core SAP HANA functionality for central operations in 2014, as part of a first
phase CasaLuker leaders implemented SAP Business Warehouse powered by SAP HANA
as well as the SAP BusinessObjects BI suite, including an SAP Supplier Portal. The
company also launched dashboard features, analytics tools, and SAP Control Center, to help
workers get more timely and intuitive access to business-related insights for decision
making. In moving to the final phase of the project, CasaLuker is looking toward
implementing SAP Business Planning and Consolidation and SAP Manufacturing Integration
and Intelligence—to support advanced planning and simulation capabilities for CasaLuker’s
supply chain. Effectively undertaking the transformation has relied on collaboration across
the organization and among its technology and consulting partners, including Deloitte and an
infrastructure partner, according to Gerson Granados, CasaLuker’s director of IT. That
collaborative path was defined early on in the process by a steering committee, which was
created to examine risks, explore benefits, develop steps for the three-phase transformation,
and align roles and responsibilities for the various players. Internally, close to 60 workers
were involved in the project, with 30 consultants helping to implement solutions and guide
transformation strategy.
The payoff
Standing up SAP solutions to transform procurement, manufacturing and logistics at
CasaLuker has helped position the company for a future in which workers across the
4
organization can get access to actionable insights for more effective decision making. Here
are some of the benefits that the company is seeing from its efforts.
Speed. By pairing SAP Business Warehouse powered by SAP HANA with SAP HANA Live
(a
idge between SAP HANA and SAP applications for analytics processing), CasaLuker
has allowed workers to connect directly to the database to more quickly get the information
they need to do their jobs. Previously, the company had to download data from the ERP
system to the data warehouse. The new SAP-based solutions have enabled CasaLuker to
generate reports in a fraction of the time. Whereas some reports previously required three
hours to generate, they now can be produced in close to three minutes.
Performance and flexibility. With all ERP and reporting systems now consolidated into
SAP Business Warehouse powered by SAP HANA, CasaLuker has experienced improved
system performance while also seeing new flexibility from in-memory computing. The new,
highperforming environment can support the big data and analytics needs that the company
faces as it grows— allowing it to ask new questions about how its business is doing and to
eact promptly, adjusting activities and reallocating resources to meet evolving demands.
Efficiency. CasaLuker’s SAP-focused transformation has helped
ing fresh efficiencies and
greater accuracy in several areas. For example, new SAP solutions have helped the
company optimize inventory and boost accuracy, with the new warehouse-management
system helping to reduce picking time from about one day to less than two hours.
Meanwhile, the company’s code development landscape has become more efficient. Before
the SAP project, CasaLuker had roughly 1,000 instances of custom code in its SAP
environment. That number has been trimmed to about 200 following the transformation.
Standardization. Streamlining functions through SAP solutions has helped the company
address compliance needs as it seeks to align with international standards and improve its
processes for quality management. With SAP functionality geared toward governance, risk
and compliance—namely, SAP Access Control to help ensure data integrity—CasaLuker
has made more data accessible to its workers, while also making sure that only authorized
users can access critical data.
Why Deloitte
In searching for help to guide its SAP-led transformation, CasaLuker had some significant
easons for selecting Deloitte. At the center of the reasons: Deloitte’s emphasis on
partnerships and results.
Granados said working with Deloitte professionals proved easy because of the “side-by-side”
approach they took when
