Transforming P&L Management to Support Growth and Regulation
Client Overview
Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company (CCHBC) is one of the largest bottlers of The Coca-Cola Company’s products, operating in 28 countries across Europe and the Middle East.
With responsibility for manufacturing, distributing, and marketing a wide portfolio of beverage brands, CCHBC relies on consistent operational control to manage scale and complexity.
As the business continued to grow, the need for more adaptable planning systems became increasingly clear – particularly in the area of Profit and Loss (P&L) management.
Challenges Faced
CCHBC’s existing reliance on SAP created bottlenecks for localized P&L planning and reporting. The system lacked the flexibility to adjust to market-specific needs, making it difficult to support operational agility in key markets.
The core issue wasn’t technical – it was structural. The company needed a planning solution that could adapt to business logic and processes without forcing teams to work around rigid systems. Beyond the core challenges, we managed:
Limited internal engineering capacity
Tight delivery timelines
Need to prove the approach via a pilot initiative in Italy before expanding to other markets like Switzerland with its own regulatory requirements
eLando’s Solution
We worked with CCHBC to design and build a modular platform specifically for P&L planning.
The solution was developed to integrate smoothly with legacy systems while offering a more adaptable user experience – giving local teams more control without creating complexity. Key highlights of the solution:
Collaborative design with stakeholders from each market
Agile delivery model for rapid iterations and alignment with business needs
Unified architecture for Italy and Switzerland while allowing for local differences
Dedicated support team for post-launch stability and enhancements
Results & Impact
The solution provided a noticeable shift in how P&L planning was handled:
Local teams gained more granular control and flexibility
Reduced reliance on workaround-heavy processes
Seamless integration with legacy systems ensured continuity
Scalable infrastructure supported expansion without friction
The success in Italy validated the approach, while Switzerland confirmed it could be replicated even in highly regulated environments.
As a result, CCHBC improved internal responsiveness and established a foundation for further modernization in planning workflows.
Conclusion
This project demonstrated how a focused, custom-built solution can unlock flexibility where standardized systems fall short.
By designing for integration rather than disruption, eLando helped CCHBC evolve its operational planning without overhauling its infrastructure.
The result is a platform that supports both consistency and local autonomy – positioning the business to scale smarter, market by market.
