SAP supports BGC strategy

Nearly a decade ago, BGC noticed  its existing software systems could not keep up with its pace of growth. The disparate systems slowed processes, copied data, and  cost is incresed as a company-wide. To stay competitive and maintain high standards for product quality and customer service, BGC wanted to upgrade to a modern software platform that would integrate all of its business techniques and data. After a lengthy evaluation process, BGC decided SAP was best provided to support its long-term strategy.

Ever since, BGC has used SAP solutions to transform and improve many facets of its business. Foremost came an implementation of core finance and reporting, human resource, and payroll solutions. Next, BCG focused on retail-specific solutions for procurement, inventory management, and forecasting and replenishment. Then it completed a manufacturing and maintenance project with functionality for manufacturing, product costing, plant maintenance, and sales and distribution.
advantages from those SAP implementations are patent throughout the company. Easy to access data and better data quality improved reporting and decision-making. Increased process-efficiency decreased operational costs. Sales went up due to improved inventory availability and more visibility into internal and external business pianism. And the stability and flexibility of the SAP platform modified BGC to respond quickly to retail and manufacturing market changes.
