Etam Group taps Precisely Automate Studio solution to support company wide accounts payable processes
Data integrity specialist, Precisely, reports that Etam Group, a retailer and lingerie brand in France, has implemented its Automate Studio solution across all subsidiaries to support company wide accounts payable processes.
By providing SAP data access to decision-makers in real-time, Automate Studio (formerly Winshuttle Studio) enables Etam’s accounting teams to work autonomously without support from IT personnel, reduce operational costs, and drive greater innovation across the organisation.
“In the retail sector, businesses must stay agile and be able to implement ideas quickly, something which is also incredibly important in accounting,” says Stéphane Delattre, Vice President – Accounting for Europe at Etam Group.
“Automate Studio increases our productivity and efficiency, enabling mass data simplification and empowering decision-makers to access trustworthy data in real-time. We call it the miracle product.”
With a presence now in over 1,500 stores located across 57 countries, the retailer needed a solution that would work with its SAP ERP (enterprise resource planning) software and support all subsidiaries in streamlining their data management.
“Before we deployed Automate Studio, we manually handled hundreds of invoices a month which could be very time-consuming,” says Delattre.
“This practical solution from Precisely has not only increased our internal productivity but has helped us save time. Previously, one invoice took three minutes to create and now Automate Studio facilitates the creation of nearly 600 invoices within 15 minutes.”
“Another example is how drastically it reduced the time needed to add purchasing conditions to orders in SAP – this used to take two days but can now be completed in just two hours.”
“Precisely is committed to helping customers automate their SAP processes to maintain agility, accelerate speed of business, and build the integrity of their data,” says John Reda, SVP Product Management, Data Integration at Precisely.
“As more organisations embark on digital transformation across their core functions, they are realising the power of process automation, fuelled by accurate, consistent, and contextual data to help ensure success.”
