Puma Automates SAP Landscape With Honico BatchMan
Puma, a sporting goods manufacturer, has successfully optimized its SAP job management with BatchMan from Honico. Prior to the introduction of BatchMan, Puma was already using an S/4 Hana system, which is used to process the European end customer business and parts of the business customer business.
Job control was initially carried out using the standard SAP options with the SM36. However, this resulted in delays in troubleshooting, as the SAP standard only contains limited options for the automated sending of status messages and logs. The decisive factors for choosing BatchMan were the seamless integration of the product into an existing SAP system and Honico's customer-oriented approach.
With BatchMan, gaps in requirements could be closed and end users gained insight into the processes. This fostered a better understanding between IT and business and reduced the need for communication on technical matters. The implementation was always smooth and efficient. The increase in efficiency enabled the business to work more independently of IT, significantly speeding up troubleshooting and the introduction of new business processes. As a result, Puma is planning further roll-outs of BatchMan to its subsidiaries worldwide.
