Founded in 1946, Ferrero Italia has grown into a 7.8 billion euro brand powerhouse comprising 38 subsidiaries with 22 production plants that use 1,000,000 tons of confectionary each year. To keep pace with high demand for its popular brands, such as Nutella and Kinder, one of its subsidiaries, Ferrero Germany, is using the SAP mobile business intelligence (BI) app to provide BI reporting on iDevices.

“We try to use the latest release of SAP, always,” said Gesa Fuchs who handles reporting for top management at Ferraro Germany.

Here’s a schematic of Ferrero’s Mobile BI Reporting Areas that spans approximately 270 different reports and dashboards:
