Finance Reports Land 45% Faster, With Costing Accurate to 94%
A North American sustainable battery-materials pioneer had reporting and analytics platforms out of sync. We optimized financial reporting in SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, integrated SAP Analytics Cloud, and delivered custom accounts payable and receivable aging reports. Reporting is now 45% faster and product-costing accuracy sits at 94%.
45%Faster financial reporting
94%Product-costing accuracy
30%Less manual reconciliationThe Challenge
Data did not sync consistently between SAP S/4HANA Cloud and SAP Analytics Cloud. Product costing and profitability were complex to model, and the financial dashboards hit performance limits when people actually used them. Reporting and analytics were telling two versions of the same story, and neither surfaced margin quickly. Inconsistent data between reporting and analytics platforms, plus slow dashboards, is a quiet tax on decision speed, and it lands during exactly the growth phase when speed matters most. Finance teams waited on numbers they then had to check. Profitability insight surfaced slowly and was hard to trust.
What We Did
We optimized financial reporting in SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud first, then integrated SAP Analytics Cloud with enhanced reporting structures, so the two platforms read the same data instead of drifting apart, and reconciliation stopped being a manual step before every report. We built custom accounts payable and receivable aging reports and profitability analytics on top of that, and tuned the dashboards themselves, so the people who need margin and costing numbers can pull them without waiting for the screen to load.
The Solution
Reporting and analytics run on one standardized, optimized platform. SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud and SAP Analytics Cloud stay in sync, custom aging and profitability reports are ready when finance opens them, and margin visibility is available in real time.
The Outcome
Financial reporting is 45% faster and product-costing accuracy reached 94%. Dashboard performance improved 50% and manual reconciliation fell 30%, taking a round of manual checking out of every reporting cycle. The finance team stopped waiting on reporting to know where margin sat. Profitability and product costing are visible while decisions are still open, which matters most during exactly the growth phase the business is in.
