Better Data Integrity and Financial Compliance for Whitbread
As a multinational hotel, coffee shop and restaurant company, Whitbread has to efficiently manage thousands of hospitality stores across the UK.
With its current systems – heavily customised versions of Oracle E-Business Suite – coming to their end of life, Whitbread recognised the need for a new system that would aid its future domestic and international growth ambitions.
To help significantly reduce the complexity associated with replacing its existing systems, Whitbread turned to Oracle – the only vendor that could offer a comprehensive solution covering financials, procurement and project components.
Now, the company has a global and scalable ERP solution that supports its different legal entities and associated legal structures. It also gained the ability to produce quick and easy financial and operational reporting, and has peace of mind thanks to enterprise-grade security.
Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning Cloud Keeps French International Retail Group Ahead of Business Transformation
With offices across Western and Central Europe, Africa and China, this international retail group needed to reorganise and realign its finance systems and processes. However, its current solution – Oracle E-Business Suite R12 – wasn’t able to support this because the company used multiple ERP systems across different countries.
One solution was simply to deploy Oracle E-Business Suite in all countries and formats, but the company needed faster implementation to comply with its strategic goals.
To accelerate deployment, the retailer decided to deploy Oracle ERP Cloud. The company now has a single scalable ERP system for 14 different countries; one that modernises and optimises financial processes.
