By implementing SAP® SuccessFactors® and SAP S/4HANA® Cloud, public edition, MOD Pizza also significantly improved its business operations.

Recently, MOD Pizza received the Experience Wizard Award in the 2023 SAP Innovation Awards, highlighting its commitment to exceptional employee experiences.

Unique Concept and Rapid Growth

MOD Pizza stands out in the market with its customizable, artisan pizzas and salads through its “Made on Demand” concept. The chain’s success stems from its unique pricing strategy, which focuses on pizza size rather than the number of toppings.

MOD Pizza grew rapidly to over 500 locations nationwide.

That growth wasn’t always easy.

Challenges of Expansion

Managing workforce engagement and operational efficiency became a challenge as the company expanded.

Legacy systems slowed HR and ERP processes, while cumbersome recruiting and onboarding procedures kept the company from running efficiently.

Baking in SAP

MOD Pizza implemented SAP SuccessFactors for HR management and SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition for ERP. This move enabled more efficient automations and integrations of business processes, helping the company be more efficient.

Streamlined HR and ERP Processes

Using SAP solutions, MOD Pizza streamlined hiring, onboarding, and other HR processes, resulting in faster transitions and reduced manual data entry.

MOD Pizza saves time and reduces errors with SAP’s integrated platform.

Optimized Back-of-the-House Operations

MOD Pizza optimized its back-of-the-house operations by integrating ordering, inventory management, labor scheduling, and maintenance systems within SAP S/4HANA Cloud. This seamless integration further contributes to the chain’s ongoing success.

Employee Feedback and Refinement

MOD Pizza used Qualtrics Experience Management solutions to capture employee feedback and enhance recruiting and onboarding processes.

The Qualtrics iterative approach means the company can continuously improve employee satisfaction.

Recognition in the SAP Innovation Awards

MOD Pizza’s commitment to exceptional employee experiences and operational excellence resulted in SAP recognizing them with an Experience Wizard Award in the 2023 SAP Innovation Awards.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to the MOD Pizza team from all of us at Rizing. We’re happy to see you getting the recognition you deserve!

You can hardly open a web browser without reading something about sustainability. Most of the time, the content is about conserving and protecting natural resources.

That’s important, but it’s only part of the picture.

Sustainability folks fill in the rest of the picture by talking about three pillars:

• Profit
• People

  

• Planet

The pillars are interdependent. Each one needs the others.

People Sustainability

People sustainability requires supporting people and their potential to improve resilience, agility, and business impact.

Modern HR leaders create a sustainable workforce in several ways, including:

• DEI
• Health and safety
• Continuous learning
• Supporting technology

People Sustainability Event

Another way modern HR leaders are improving people sustainability is by having events to promote and educate others in the industry.

Recently, Rizing partnered with PeopleMatters to bring together leading voices to discuss:

• What are the top shifts that are changing talent priorities?

  

• How should HR think about redesigning processes and systems?
• How is the rise in AI and automation transforming work life?
• What is the emerging outlook that businesses need to be ready for?

Talent Deficit a Critical Focus Area

Cher Whee Sim, Vice President, Global Talent Acquisition and Talent Mobility at Micron delivered the event’s keynote.

Sim spoke about the highly competitive job market due to the “great resignation” and “great reshuffle.” She said that by 2030, the talent deficit will be 85.2 million workers globally, increasing dependency on highly skilled, diverse talent. Talent has become a critical focus area for the board and executive, with a shift towards talent strategy and risk.

• Talent sustainability (including strategy and risk)
• Corporate purpose and ESG matters
• Human capital and workforce challenges
• Shareholder engagement and activism
• Crisis management
• Board management relationship
• Board culture

Addressing the Deficit

Sim outlined how Micron focuses on growing and staffing early and mid-career talent pipelines through STEM, staffing partnerships, and learning festivals.

The rise of automation is causing a transformational shift in skills, with a shift towards higher cognitive, social, emotional, and technological tasks.

New skills are growing at an unprecedented rate of 20-30% every 12 months. It’s important to understand how T-shaped skills are being transformed in the face of increased automation, as employers highly value them.

People Sustainability Discussion

Jonathan Stewart, Global Head of TA, Enabling Functions & Regional Director TA, Insights APAC, Kantar led a post-keynote discussion.

The group highlighted the demographic shift underway in Singapore and Malaysia, where companies needed to address the needs of new retirees. Leaders also emphasized the importance of mental health and STEM education for girls.

The sustainability of initiatives can only be seen in the long term, and leaders felt HR should facilitate business conversations even if they don’t have all the answers.

Rizing’s Take

“Cher Whee Sim brought a fresh perspective and suggested new ideas for how companies can use a people sustainability strategy to build a resilient workforce and retain top talent.” says Robert Limasal, Rizing Director of Business Development. “We’re excited to continue fostering these conversations and collaborations.”

Author John Steinbeck called it “The Mother Road.”

You know it as Route 66.

Created in the mid-1920s, Route 66 connected the main streets of rural and urban communities to develop the first national route from Chicago, IL, to Los Angeles, CA.

Mapping out Route 66 required using early surveying equipment like poles, chains, and “transit theodolites” – a steampunk-looking device that combined a spirit level, a precision telescope, leveling screws, and a vernier scale.

If you wanted to create Route 66 today, you’d work with the Transportation GIS (GIS-T) community members.

2023 GIS-T Symposium

The Geospatial Information Systems for Transportation Symposium (GIS-T) comprises the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, state-level Departments of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration, various transportation-related research councils, and transportation industry products and services providers.

And fittingly, this past week found the GIS-T community gathering on Route 66.

The annual Geospatial Information Systems for Transportation Symposium moves yearly, but the 2023 event was in Oklahoma City, OK.

According to the conference website:

“The GIS-T Symposium brings together professionals from government and private industry interested in the use of GIS for transportation. Network, share experiences, share knowledge, see state-of-art software, and learn more about this field. Join your fellow professionals in addition to the 40+ exhibitors in the technology hall.”

State Summary and Roll Call

A unique event at the Symposium is the State Summary & Roll Call of States. A representative from each state can address the crowd for one minute, summarizing their accomplishments of the past year and listing goals for the following year.

Notable accomplishments included:

• Completion of risk assessments
• Cloud migrations (often to corporate offerings like Amazon and Google)
• Disaster recovery planning
• Rockfall mitigation
• Evacuation route planning
• Asset management implementation
• Crash analysis

Notable goals included:

• Exploring Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
• Creating digital twins
• Implementing data governance
• Using LiDAR to detect asset changes
• Using drones for data collection
• Gathering vertical clearance data for sharing with navigation companies
• Creating a “citizens insights” app

Rizing at GIS-T

Scheduled breaks from symposium presentations brought visitors to Rizing’s exhibition booth on the tradeshow floor. Visitors enjoyed a mix of business and pleasure, with a ski-ball competition available in between demonstrations of Rizing’s GIS-related products, including:

• Road Analyzer – share data across your organization and provide access to local or state agencies
• Mercury – simplify complex SAP and GIS integration
• OmniSpatial – browser-based field and office data collection
• Productivity Tools – linear referencing maintenance and analysis
• Road Video Viewer – video log viewing across multiple years of collection
• HPMS Assistant – tools for FHWA’s annual HPMS submittal process

GIS-T Takeaways:

The Rizing booth staff had a busy time connecting with other attendees. Some of their takeaways included:

“DOTs have lots of data, but it’s captured in disparate systems,” says Rizing Senior GIS Consultant Logan Erikson. “Getting that data consolidated and integrated is an ongoing challenge.”

“I’ve definitely learned more about HPMS (Highway Performance Monitoring System),” says Rizing Senior GIS Analyst Paige Drippé.

“The conference validated the need for intersection management,” says Rizing Senior Project Manager Jesse Day. “We saw it coming. The Federal Highway Systems Model Inventory of Roadway Elements (MIRE) data collection requirements are causing a real deadline now.”

Next Up, Atlanta

Atlanta will host the 2024 GIS-T Symposium.

Maybe the Georgia DoT officials can offer tips for navigating the 71 different Atlanta roads with “Peachtree” in the name.

The Competency Framework is an achievement-based recognition system designed to boost focus on customer lifetime value and customer outcomes, helping companies to find the partner that best fits their digital transformation journey towards becoming an intelligent enterprise.

“Our SAP BTP solution consultants are hyper-focused on designing solutions that empower customers to solve business challenges today while advancing their enterprise resource planning (ERP) to a next-level architecture with SAP S/4HANA®,” said Martin Stenzig, CTO of Rizing. “The SAP BTP solutions we have deployed to date – and the other two dozen in the pipeline cover the gamut of Robotic Process Automation, custom UI5 and SAP Fiori® applications, mobile services, analytics, and cloud integration, and our applications on SAP Store – show Rizing’s commitment to a holistic services approach for SAP BTP. SAP BTP helps solve technical challenges, allowing us to de-risk projects and realize benefits more rapidly.”

“Customers can digitally transform with more confidence in a partner’s capabilities when they see the competency level on a partner’s profile,” said Mike Maiolo, CEO of Rizing. “As part of the Next Gen Partner Advisory Council, Rizing collaborated with SAP in designing the Competency Framework with the goal of enabling customers to have more detailed insights into a partner’s real-world experiences. Partners must demonstrate success with deploying customer solutions to receive a competency level of essential, advanced or expert, allowing recognition of a partner’s progress along an experience continuum.”

Partners at the expert competency tier have demonstrated exceptional customer success in SAP’s Business Technology Platform. By earning this designation, Rizing is prepared to assist customers with end-to-end transformation projects with their proven experience working across the competency product portfolio and having developed unique solution capabilities in the specific area.

Rizing is helping customers drive to the intelligent enterprise by examining each clients’ unique needs and preparing the company’s applications and environment to move along the continuum from legacy ERP to SAP S/4HANA and partner-managed cloud for the SAP® SuccessFactors® suite.  To help de-risk the move to SAP S/4HANA, Rizing uses SAP BTP to accelerate technical content migration and creation into a ‘Phase zero — SAP BTP work’ whose end coincides with the start of the SAP S/4HANA transition program.

In other areas, Rizing has extended the functionality of the core – as in using SAP BTP to expand resource management capabilities in SAP S/4HANA for the professional services industry. Also, among Rizing’s SAP BTP solutions are customized mobile capabilities that help ensure productivity in the field for oil, gas, utilities and mining workers, integration of SAP and third-party systems, Identify Authentication, and analytics to manage data easily and quickly from a variety of sources.

Rizing’s Expert competency was granted based on the company’s demonstrated expertise and skills in Business Technology Platform including their related knowledge, proficiency, and instances of customer success.

The post Rizing Becomes Esri Silver Partner appeared first on Rizing.

Some highlights of the 2022 event include:

Fast Cures

Rizing Marketing Manager Sayn Si attended the event and observed:

• People wanted low-hanging fruit to apply immediately rather than long, involved lectures. They want fast cures. And real-world examples. People interacted more in sessions that included case studies and war stories.
• Asset Management is not enough. Asset Lifecycle Management with smart and predictable assets is the key.
• Companies still struggle with EAM basics despite the hype of innovation and technological advancement.
• Master Data governance and migration from SAP ECC to S4 are challenging for many companies.
• People, the right technology to apply, and change management remain key to adopting innovation.

Unrealized Potential

Rizing Business Development Manager Marty Trembath says:

The Rizing booth was buzzing with plenty of great discussions with common themes including:

We have the tools but aren’t using them to their full potential

Many delegates were excited to hear what’s possible and were blown away by the innovative ideas and topics of the sessions. However, they aren’t getting full use of the systems they already have, so how do they move forward? SAP process and best practice training are in hot demand.

How do I get my field crews off paper when they are working out of signal?

Rizing had our mobile solution Hydrogen on display and demos ran non-stop during the two-day conference. Customers were keen to see what a modern, powerful but simple mobility device is capable of. They appreciated how Hydrogen’s dynamic forms can digitally model their existing paper-based forms and improve the entire data collection process.

EAM Interest

Rizing APAC Business Development Director David Harrison says:

On the EAM side, there was significant interest in SAP S/4HANA^® transformation, mobile solutions and getting the master data right.

Hello Cobalt

At the Mastering SAP event, Rizing saw considerable interest in Cobalt, our upcoming CapEx related, SAP BTP-based product.

What is it?

Cobalt in Brief

Marty Trembath provides a short summary:

Rizing’s Cobalt helps bridge the gap between investment planning, capital projects, asset construction and master data creation through to commissioning and asset management.

Cobalt in Detail

Rizing Solution Architect and Cobalt Product Owner John Dwyer provides greater detail:

CapEx processes in asset-intensive industries are complex and range from ad-hoc asset replacements in short-term timeframes to long-term projects starting at the portfolio level.

There is no single SAP solution for asset design and estimation across these timeframes and scenarios. Custom solutions are often developed in organizations to handle requirements including:

• Design versions
• Evaluation of alternative designs
• Interaction with multiple different SAP objects over diverse timeframes

To simplify this operational and technical complexity, Rizing’s Cobalt provides a single, complete design and estimation solution. It eliminates the inconsistent approaches and business process discontinuities found in the standard solutions, eliminating the need for extensive enhancements.

Rizing’s Cobalt delivers functionality built on SAP BTP that:

• Generates planning in SAP PPM items and SAP Projects
• Creates planned SAP Work Orders for construction
• Constructs the asset hierarchies of SAP Functional Locations and Equipment
• Interacts with third-party asset investment planning and design tools

Cobalt promises to be valuable and applicable to any asset-intensive industry. We expect to release it publicly in late 2023, but if you have an immediate need please contact us.

Rizing was acquired by Wipro Limited in April 2022 and continues to operate a boutique-style consulting services firm with Wipro’s expanded global footprint and technology capabilities. Rizing is an innovation partner with SAP for fashion and retail and has the largest number of referenceable customers with SAP.
