This co-operative grocer discovered people challenges with its month-end accounting and reporting process. 

The process relied on consistent regularity of data upload to SAP by the chain’s 200 odd store employees for the related finance admin tasks to process orderly and successfully. 

This task was proving to be a tedious and leading to downstream impact and unreliable outcomes.

With scalability and flexibility in mind, KPMG worked with this grocer to:

1. streamline and standardise the pre month-end business data checks.
2. assist in ensuring selected process and RPA formed right solution fit. 

Design, automate and implement the pre month-end checks for 3 stores initially to highlight Proof of Value (PoV).

Post automation, this grocer has benefitted from consistent and reliable pre month-end data processing and related tasks completion.

Post initial PoV, the wider automated process has been scaled and rolled out to approximately 200 stores freeing up 9000 annual hours.

On the back of successful PoV, KPMG has additionally assisted them with subsequent Invoice process automation development involving OCR tool as well as providing ad-hoc post go-live support.
