Story
Williams-Sonoma grew financial close faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, consumer discretionary teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Controllers and shared services were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out SAP S/4HANA put record to report on SAP. SAP is the global leader in enterprise resource planning software, with S/4HANA, business technology platform services, and industry cloud applications. Williams-Sonoma keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so controllers and shared services do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier record to report. Financial close is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join controllers and shared services without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
