SAP challenges faced by Graybar

Challenges

High effort to process quotes and orders - Users handled ~9,500 quotes daily and navigated line item data across multiple screens.

Time-consuming transaction execution - Over 4,000 users managed sales and distribution activities with repeated steps and inputs.

Manual checks increased effort per order - Material availability, stock location, and sourcing were verified manually during order creation.

Manual monitoring of blocked orders - Managers refreshed SAP screens to identify orders awaiting approval.
