Bosch, a leading global supplier of technology and services, was facing challenges in managing complex data and legacy process management systems. The company was struggling to meet customer demands for lower prices and more detailed order tracking. Bosch's global scale, with over 450 subsidiaries and local companies operating in over 60 countries, made these demands seem insurmountable. The company was also dealing with data stored on independent systems, complex reporting requirements, increasing competition and thinner margins, and growing process administration delays. Bosch lacked a centralized platform for generating reports or a standard way to manage business processes, which was like operating with blinders on. The company needed more agility, better insights, and greater flexibility.

Bosch implemented Software AG’s Process Performance Manager to address its challenges. The solution automatically extracted relevant daily data and made it visible on a platform, enabling processes to be analyzed from numerous angles, including deep dives into individual process instances. The new system, which went live fully in 2017, cut order inquiry response times by five percent. This resulted in a spike in customer satisfaction, better retention rates, and improved churn in sales KPIs. The solution also automated the order inquiry process, cutting administrative work by three days per month. Bosch was so impressed by these early results that it quickly moved to implement additional Process Performance Manager capabilities. These capabilities, like benchmarking, process mining, and situational analysis dashboards, will greatly impact overall efficiency.
