Newell Rubbermaid Unlocks Business Analytics Benefits
With 13 global business units, four regions and dozens of business applications, consumer products company Newell Rubbermaid needed a more complete, accurate and timely view of data across the company. Working with SAP AG, the company has been able to corral that information into a single dashboard that includes consistent information which business users can access to make better decisions. Newell Rubbermaid has implemented a combination of solutions from the SAP BusinessObjects portfolio, including business intelligence (BI), enterprise performance management (EPM) and governance, risk and compliance (GRC) solutions.
"With the global insight SAP provides, we've been able to more strategically identify best business practices, as well as find areas for improvement," says Matt Stultz, vice president of Information Technology, Newell Rubbermaid. "Whether it's analyzing our spend data or more efficiently managing our inventory, we have both the historical and up-to-date information we need to move our business forward. Because the analytics and GRC solutions are so intuitive to use, this journey toward continuous improvement has been engaging people in every area of the company - regardless of their technical skill."
Newell Rubbermaid has well-known brands in the home and family, office products and tools categories, including Rubbermaid, Sharpie, Graco, Calphalon and Irwin.
