Canada Post, one of the largest mail systems in the world, was spending large amounts of time and money manually entering data from Microsoft Excel into its SAP ERP system. It implemented the Winshuttle transactionSHUTTLE solution, which automates uploading Excel and Access data into SAP. This reduced programming costs by $300,000 in the first six months and saved $60,000 and six months of time uploading employee data. Overall, Canada Post has saved over $1 million using Winshuttle by reducing data entry resources and unnecessary IT costs.

O
ne of the largest mail sys-
tems in the world, Ottawa-
based Canada Post employs
72,000 people and delivers
37 million pieces of mail
every day to more than 31 million people.
Although it strives for speed and efficiency,
the organization discovered it was spending
prohibitive amounts of time and money
entering Microsoft®
Office Excel®
data into
its SAP®
ERP system.
Canada Post turned to the Winshuttle®
transactionSHUTTLE™ solution, which
speeds the process and improves the accu-
racy of getting data into and out of SAP
systems by using Microsoft Office Excel
spreadsheet software and Microsoft Office
Access™ database software. Users simply
enter the data into Excel, and transaction-
SHUTTLE automates the upload into SAP.
Before using transactionSHUTTLE,
Canada Post’s IT personnel had to use
multiple SAP screens to enter data. They
also relied on expensive third-party custom
scripts, which required five days to make
changes to compensation and bonus data.
Accuracy was another problem, as manual
bulk data entry for SAP updates often led to
keystroke errors.
Winshuttle—which is a Microsoft
Certified Partner—and Canada Post have
been working together for just over two
years. During the first six months of the
relationship, Canada Post saved $300,000
by reducing programming and other work.
In a single project, the organization saved
$60,000 in programmer wages and six
months’time by using transaction-
SHUTTLE to upload into SAP multiple job
evaluation points—data used to complete
employee evaluations—for more than
8,000 positions.
“Overall, if you look at all the projects
they have done using our tools, [Canada
Post] has saved over $1 million by using
fewer data entry resources and eliminating
unnecessary IT costs,”says Vikram Chalana,
CEO of Winshuttle.
“Winshuttle empowers business users
to become data stewards,”he continues.
“They can keep their data clean, they can
load it into SAP, and they are completely
responsible for it. They don’t have to be
dependent on IT.”
Many organizations are discovering how
easily business applications and Microsoft’s
.NET Framework combine with Winshuttle
products such as transactionSHUTTLE
to create enterprise-ready platforms that
optimize IT infrastructures, extend capabil-
ities and enhance efficiency. These products
empower information workers in finance,
accounts payable, accounts receivable, pur-
chasing, human resources and production
planning, and transform business processes
across the enterprise.
