We were honored to participate last week in the event created by the Consell d´Eivissa about "Mesa de intrusismo sobre oferta alojativa no reglada", where important discussions took place regarding the regulation of the vacation rental market. At Holidu, we fully support and are aligned with the objective of ending illegal offerings and stand by the government's efforts to uphold these standards. It was a privilege to engage alongside key industry leaders from the vacation rentals and hotel sectors. Our collective efforts do not conclude with this panel; we are committed to advancing this further and look forward to keeping you updated on our progress and continued initiatives https://lnkd.in/d4EkDWBQ

Plattformanbieter stehen oft vor den gleichen Herausforderungen: 🚨 Datenmengen und Prozesse wachsen schneller als die IT-Landschaft. 🚨 Die Integration neuer Märkte wird zum Kraftakt. 🚨 Saisonale Schwankungen erfordern höchste Flexibilität.   Holidu, einer der führenden Ferienhausanbieter in Europa, hat diese Herausforderungen proaktiv angepackt - und den nächsten großen Schritt gewagt: den Umstieg auf SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition. Gemeinsam mit uns von all4cloud Group wurde die Migration in nur vier Monaten erfolgreich umgesetzt.   Wie sah der Plan aus?   Die IT-Landschaft zukunftssicher und skalierbar machen, Prozesse automatisieren, um Ressourcen für strategische Aufgaben freizusetzen & Internationale Märkte effizienter integrieren.   Die Ergebnisse sprechen für sich:   ✔️ Bis zu 80% schnellerer Monatsabschluss setzt Ressourcen frei. ✔️ Vollautomatisiertes Cash Management für mehr Effizienz. ✔️ Nahtlose Integration und Datenkonsistenz für bessere Entscheidungen.   Steffi Riegel, Director Accounting & Tax bei Holidu, bringt es auf den Punkt: „Wir konnten zeitaufwändige Prozesse deutlich effizienter gestalten und den Zeitaufwand signifikant reduzieren.“   Was bedeutet das für andere Plattformunternehmen? Ein modernes ERP aus der Cloud ist die Basis, um datenbasierte Entscheidungen zu treffen, Prozesse zu automatisieren und nachhaltig zu wachsen. Denn Plattform-Businesses brauchen flexible und skalierbare Lösungen, die mitwachsen.    #sapclouderp #plattformbusiness #skalierung #clouderp #growwithsap
