Industry: Consumer Products | Employees: 18,700 | Headquarters: Germany | Sales: €5.3B
Bosch Power Tools serves professional users and DIY enthusiasts across 40+ countries with brands like Bosch and Dremel.
The Problem
Handling 1.5M+ e-mail tickets annually across 40 countries, Bosch faced:
40% of tickets misrouted due to 200+ conflicting workflow rules.
System performance degradation from complex routing logic.
Weeks of IT effort required to update routing rules.
Manual intervention delaying customer responses.
When products are increasingly similar, superior service is the differentiator. Every support interaction matters.
The AI Solution
Case Classification Agent: One natural language prompt replaced hundreds of workflow rules—35% better accuracy.
Proof-of-concept to production in seven months via SAP-Bosch co-innovation hackathon.
The Impact
35% improvement in classification accuracy (60% → 90%).
2,500 hours saved annually per contact center.
~80 man-days of IT effort freed each year.
Minutes instead of weeks to update logic.
"Integrating the AI Classification Agent replaced hundreds of routing workflows with a single prompt, significantly improving accuracy and resolution times. This transformation saves thousands of work hours annually while enhancing customer satisfaction—a true leap forward in intelligent service management!"

San Jose Sharks – Success Story
Sharks Sports & Entertainment operates two arenas and multiple ice facilities, hosting hockey, concerts, and family shows—managing tickets, merchandise, concessions, and programs across all properties.
Industry: Sports & Entertainment | Brands: San Jose Sharks (NHL), San Jose Barracuda (AHL) | HQ: San Jose, CA
The Problem
Customer data scattered across siloed vendor systems meant:
Fragmented view - ticketing, parking, food, e-commerce all separate.
No real-time insights - couldn't track metrics or decide quickly.
Zero personalization - understanding fan preferences was guesswork.
In sports and entertainment, every e-mail matters as much as game day. But SSE couldn't personalize without unified data.
The AI Solution
SAP Datasphere: United 5+ vendor systems into single operational view.
SAP Customer Data Platform: 360-degree customer view consolidating ticketing, attendance, and accounts.
SAP Engagement Cloud: Personalized e-mail campaigns via advanced segmentation.
Joule Premium: Beta launch with sales/service reps for faster fan insights.
The Impact
30% revenue growth from holiday campaigns (2024).
75% open rate on personalized renewals.
28% click rate (above industry standards).
87% renewal rate for season ticket holders.
100+ simultaneous offers managed during peak season.
"With the power of SAP Datasphere in combination with SAP Customer Data Platform, we are able to take otherwise fragmented data sources and get them speaking to one another to best understand our customers' preferences. This helps us drive and create the best experiences for them, both digitally and in the real world."
—Tim Malone, Director of Business Intelligence
