Innovating thousands of products that contribute
to efficiency, safety, and comfort
Incorporated in everything from ultralightweight automotive parts to high-performance
components used in healthcare, Covestro AG’s polyurethanes, polycarbonates, coatings,
and adhesives are in use worldwide. Wanting to make more-informed project investment
decisions and optimize resource allocation, Covestro drew up plans to transform its
portfolio planning process. But to do so, it needed an integrated strategic portfolio planning
solution, and it had to work with real-time data if it was going to improve the speed and
impact of decision-making across the organization.
How Does the Maker of High-Tech
Polymers Use One Source of Truth to
Make the World More Sustainable?
Using the SAP® Portfolio and Project Management application, Covestro AG transformed its portfolio
planning processes, reduced maintenance costs, and was able to:
• Introduce a centralized project repository to provide one source of truth, establish transparency, and enable
real-time insight into project progress and cost performance across the business
• Build stronger collaboration
• Prioritize projects in line with corporate strategies and business goals
• Gain insight into demand and capacity across the organization, helping Covestro optimize resource allocation
and utilization
• Generate comprehensive reporting on project performance based on live data for faster business outcomes
• Maximize business value with aligned and realistic forecasting, enabling more-effective planning, execution,
and monitoring
Covestro is making faster, more-informed decisions to optimize
resource allocation for over 9,000 global projects.
“With SAP solutions, we have six independent business processes integrated into one
IT tool helping us maximize quality, effectiveness, and efficiency.”
