Transforming Enterprise Planning on OneStream for Crocs

Transforming Enterprise Planning on OneStream for Crocs

Situation

Crocs’ planning environment was built on a legacy SAP BPC platform that had reached end of life, creating real constraints around scalability and long-term viability. Thousands of accounts, profit centers, and cost centers had accumulated over time, generating an unsustainable maintenance burden and ungoverned data complexity that made the system increasingly difficult to manage. Planning and approvals were handled manually outside the platform, introducing risk and inefficiency into processes that required precision across multiple channels and business units. Multiple report versions were difficult to maintain, support, and scale to meet evolving business needs. Crocs needed to move off BPC entirely and replace it with a modern, integrated planning environment that could bring data, workflows, and reporting into one trusted place.

Our Solution

Thought Logic partnered with Crocs’ business, finance, accounting, and technology teams to replace the legacy SAP BPC environment with a fully integrated OneStream platform, beginning with an Enterprise Data Advisory phase to define the roadmap and establish the right foundation before build began. GL and operational data were unified into a single data warehouse to power the OneStream platform, and automated currency translations, intercompany eliminations, constant currency, and allocations replaced the manual processes that had driven complexity across the close and planning cycles. Thought Logic implemented driver-based revenue and margin planning by channel, expense planning, people planning, scenario modeling, and allocations — delivering a fully connected environment where budgets, forecasts, and actuals operate together. Executive-level dashboards and reporting packages were automated, and GAAP and management reporting were streamlined throughout. Global training and change management were delivered to enable adoption across the organization.
