González Byass’s journey with SAP RDP

Elisabet Braza Valle
SAP Supply & Finance Head in Information Technology at Gonzalez Byass SA (501-1000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

González Byass S.A. has been helping protect the natural world since 1835. With more than 2,000 hectares of vineyards in Spain, Mexico, and Chile, the company takes its stewardship of the environment very seriously. Its “5+5” commitment, now evolved to "People+Planet", recognizes that the González family have cared for the land while steering the company to the 21st century, so too must the next generations continue that mission. SAP Responsible Design and Production would help it design products sustainably and comply with evolving circular-economy regulations in the European Union and beyond in one centralized solution.

Pros

  • The ability to connect the solution smoothly with González Byass’s SAP ERP application and other SAP software so the company can reuse existing business context, data, and structures.
  • SAP Responsible Design and Production gives us visibility of supplier materials in terms of both packaging and the auxiliary materials it incorporates in its offerings. It can structure this information intuitively and link it with the volume of units it puts on the market for each product. By centralizing our EPR data in SAP Responsible Design and Production, González Byass can speedily access information across its countries of operation, helping it make environmental product declarations for each country quickly and accurately
  • Users appreciate the solution’s interface, which allows them to report on this data intuitively and speedily.

Cons

  • On the subject of our Business, we need to have Ecovidrio (Ecoembes) declaration included in RDP, as soon as possible. It is urgent for us.
  • The features feed for uploading information to the RDP should be more streamlined and user friendly
  • I would also improve the data quality part, it doesn't really make it clear where the problem might lie.

Return on Investment

  • For now we have not calculated the ROI, but we are aware that it relieves the workload of the team that manages it. When more reports/declarations are included, we will have a higher return, especially with Ecovidrio.

Very effective tool for monitoring sustainability metrics & integrates very well with S/4HANA

Incentivized
Kat Karpenko Wozny
IT Manager in Information Technology at Kiwi Flowers (201-500 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use SAP Responsible Design and Production alongside our S/4HANA infrastructure to monitor and manage the sustainability of our operations and whether our metrics leave us open to any additional taxes or fines. We have SAP Responsible Design and Production elements integrated to each of our machines as well as packaging, logistics, etc. operations. It's a pretty handy addon to S/4HANA to make sure everything's going as it should

Pros

  • The real-time monitoring is very handy. Not only for sustainability but it also helps spot issues as most of the time increases in negative output are due to errors in production
  • It's very customizable with the ability to add custom benchmarks and limits to each metric to design them for our country's regulations.
  • It solves a very specific problem while being able to integrate well with our current systems. Without it, we'd have trouble finding another tool to monitor these metrics this well

Cons

  • The pricing is very high as it is with most other SAP tools. Can't really think of much other than that

Return on Investment

  • It's saved us from having to pay environmental fines which would've been a lot higher than the cost of SAP Responsible Design and Production.
  • It's helped us maintain a production that' also sustainable for the environment
