More Reliable Financial Reporting via Immediate Data

With SAP S/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors, and SAP BPC solutions which gradually went live as part of the digital transformation process, common business processes of the group companies under the Holding were determined so that all processes could be managed from a single center. In the planning of the SAP S/4HANA project which, went live in such a short time as one year, the goal was to enable faster action through the standardization of operational processes and reliable financial reports via immediate and accurate data. The entire system configured on SAP was customized for company-specific processes on the basis of Bakioğlu Holding’s know-how and moved to ERP with improvements. With this project, which was executed with the ASAP methodology, business processes at Bakioğlu Holding Packaging Group Companies were standardized and integrated. Processes are now being managed by the Holding using the Standardized Main Data and Reporting suite. Thanks to the integrations implemented, collaboration among departments was established. Through real-time and rapidly obtained reports, the analytical capability was improved and costs were reduced.

The benefits provided by SAP S/4HANA and SAP Success Factors solutions such as user-friendly interface displays, integration capabilities, validity in the global arena, and configurability in a customized manner thanks to flexible structures played an important role in Bakioğlu Holding’s choices for such a comprehensive transformation process.

Standardized and Integrated Human Resources Processes

Thanks to the SAP SuccessFactors solution, Bakioğlu Holding Human Resources was able to establish an integrated, jointly managed, and standardized structure for its executives and employees. With a total of 500 SuccessFactors users within the Holding, HR department, and other employees adopted a self-service culture based on data-based management. All processes that were manually executed on Excel sheets before the transformation was fully standardized, enabling improved efficiency and reduced IT costs.
