Optimized Planning at CCBCU

Coca-Cola Bottling Company United upgraded to SAP Analytics Cloud to replace BPC, streamline operational expense and workforce planning, and enhance data integration for more efficient financial management.

The challenge

CCBCU’s BPC solution was nearing its end of support and lacked the advantages of a cloud-based platform. As the volume of daily margin data grew, the system became less efficient, creating performance challenges and a less intuitive user experience. These limitations hindered efficient planning and reporting, highlighting the need for a modern, scalable solution.

The process

SandPoint Consulting implemented two key solutions in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) for CCBCU:

  • OPEX and Finance: Enabled higher-level data entry to generate detailed reports. Implemented driver-based planning for operational expenses (e.g., fuel) and used an allocation engine to distribute costs across cost centers.
  • Workforce Planning: Created a model for hourly, salaried, and daily compensation, including overtime, holidays, and job-specific plans. The model supports planning for both existing employees and open positions, incorporating growth and benefit assumptions for personnel expense calculations.

The result

With SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), CCBCU benefited from:

  • Automated system management, including upgrades, with no need for internal oversight.
  • Reduced data entry time, boosting efficiency.
  • A 100% cloud-based solution offering greater flexibility and accessibility without the need for on-premise infrastructure management
