• Panalpina has a solid, performant and highly developed BW environment in

the area of internal finance, statistics and operational reporting in place.

• Panalpina has a lot of workarounds in place to deliver information to the

customer according their demands. (combination from different sources and

merging of financial, operation and customer data) This so called external

customer reporting has been taken into account for the PoC.

• Global KPI report for all air transit times (Gateway)

• All sea freight FCL rates – shipments charged

• KPI Report all shipments, shipment delay report

• Total invoiced amount, +30, +60, +90 days in USD

• Claims and transport damages

� Very individual

� Specific in design, layout, format

� Standardization is difficult

PoC SAP HANA - Conclusions

• SAP HANA will fit as accelerator for our customer reporting environment

and can be good integrated in our existing SAP landscape.

• On the long run it can replace our existing SAP NetWeaver BWA and the

current database DB2 for SAP BW. (SAP strategy)

We could close the PoC with positive results.
