Accelerating results: Dramatic improvements to the month-end close at PepsiCo Mexico Foods
The Challenge
PepsiCo Mexico Foods was struggling to deliver their month-end financial numbers in fewer than four days. Their performance issues stemmed from their implementation of a profitability solution on top of BPC 7.5 Netweaver. This created a very high level of granularity and more than 300M records, which slowed systems down significantly.
The Solution
In order to satisfy the challenging business requirements at PepsiCo, TruQua presented the TruAllocations add-on for BPC NW. While working to deploy this solution, TruQua incorporated additional features for the TruAllocations add-on to achieve an extra performance boost.
