Ian Grange
SAP Roambi EMEIA Techsales Director

Mobile apps are changing business
The combination of a new breed of
mobile centric business solutions and
mobile devices are changing the way
companies do business - and raising
user expectations.

Yet, these users often struggle to get the instant insight they need.
The lifeblood of your business: data
You’ve spent significant time and effort assembling data resources to help people make better decisions.
Mobile executives
Store managers
Field technicians
Sales reps
Office personnel

Existing business intelligence often isn’t designed for mobile…
…and custom developments take too long

Modern analytics for the digital Age
SAP BusinessObjects Roambi gives data consumers
instant access to critical business information:
 From anyplace
 With or without Internet access
 On mobile devices or desktops
SAP BusinessObjects Roambi features a modern,
mobile-first design that helps users understand data,
intuitively explore it, and share it across the business.

Case studies – Footwear and Accessories
• Fashionable footwear and accessories with 2,000 Stores across 95 countries
• 100 District managers on the road talking, coaching, and mentoring the store
managers and sales staff

• Benefits:
• Time saved for sales directors and district managers
• Mobile accessibility to near real-time information anytime from anywhere
• Improving the speed to decision making
• > 95% of users leverage the tool regularly
“The time savings for our sales directors and district
managers is huge, mobile accessibility to near real-time
information anytime from anywhere is huge, and
improving the speed to decision making is huge.”

Case studies – Cosmetics
• Roambi is used by 450 Store Managers in the US to monitor brand
and store performance
• Reports are refreshed every 30 minutes and include:
o Sales (hourly flash sales, transactions,…)
o Activity data (traffic, inventory,…)
o Performance data (brand, customer, employee,...)
o Benchmarking vs other stores
• “Sephora saved nearly 150,000 hours in the first year, which was
previously dedicated to data management” - Anthony Pristyak,
Director of Store Systems and Analysis, Sephora
“Store and field leadership absolutely love the
application. Roambi is the last thing we look at
before we go to bed and the first thing we look at
when we wake up.”
