Because McDonald’s UAE has strict quality control standards, SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, serves as an excellent and cost-effective solution for their standardise services across the UAE. The implementation of SAP S/4 HANA Public Cloud, an intelligent, integrated ERP system, has virtualised McDonald’s infrastructure, reducing ownership and maintenance costs. By automating finance and sales processes, McDonald’s UAE is using real-time data to organise suppliers, monitor supply sources and manage inventory.
In addition to optimising IT infrastructure costs, SAP Analytics Cloud enabled McDonald’s UAE to communicate operational data to all restaurants, including kitchen serving times and relationships with third party operators.
