The company faced impending OSHA audit deadlines with no unified view of safety training compliance. Month-end workforce reporting required 14 business days of manual data consolidation across systems.

Solution: A team of 2 SAP architects and 5 developers executed a 16-week implementation. Discovery phase mapped 47 distinct training categories and compliance requirements.
