Fiorano enabled SAP integration across the enterprise and extended partners

Among many processes that UB Group deployed using Fiorano, SAP integration was one of the key solutions that helped it save over a million dollars in a short span of time. The information extracted from SAP was sent to report generating tools using Fiorano without any ABAP programming. This saved UB a significant amount in consulting costs.

Moreover, the new solution allows the central head-office to process the invoices generated by remote factories, without requiring (skilled) people at remote locations from ever having to learn SAP or get trained on SAP. At remote sites, operators simply type in invoice details on an HTML page, and the Fiorano flows that process invoices handle the rest; updating the SAP system seamlessly and executing the 'business process flow".

Fiorano flows used to manage and automate processes

Various processes were automated such as Good received, Invoicing and Dispatch. Management of several processes was now intelligent and fast by giving Managers the information timely to enable them to take decisions and give approvals on the fly:
Logistics and integrated approval mechanisms: Different distributors have different credit limits within the SAP system. UB solves this problem by using Fiorano flows to get the approval from a manager using his/her mobile phone. An SMS is sent to the GPRS-enabled cell-phone of the manager, listing a web-link.
Production efficiencies: When complex products are manufactured, several raw materials are consumed as part of the manufacturing process. UB uses Fiorano flows to extract information relating to the Back-flush process and to publish this information to the enterprise portal, where it can be reviewed by managers for appropriate actionable decisions.
