“With the Quinnox team creating new story reports in People Analytics, I have saved many months of time and effort compared to the manual processes I've used over the last 15 years. Quinnox has truly made a remarkable difference.”
About the client:
AGCO Corporation is a premier agricultural machinery manufacturer with a global footprint, boasting over 30,000 employees spread across the United States, Hungary, and India. AGCO is renowned for its innovative farming solutions, delivering high-quality tractors, combine harvesters, hay tools, sprayers, and forage equipment.
However, despite their industry leadership, AGCO faced significant challenges in succession planning and people analytics, primarily due to manual processes and inefficient data management.
Customer Challenge:
AGCO’s manual methods for succession planning and people analytics were fraught with inefficiencies and errors. Key challenges included:
- Manual Creation of Presentations: HR professionals had to manually create PowerPoint presentations for over 12,000 employees, a time-consuming and impractical task.
- Non-Default Reporting Tools: The lack of integrated reporting tools in SuccessFactors led AGCO to use costly external tools, complicating the process.
- Data Scattering: Essential employee data was dispersed across various SAP SuccessFactors modules, making data gathering and presentation creation cumbersome and error prone.
- Limited Reporting Capabilities: AGCO relied on ad hoc and Canvas reporting tools, followed by manual data processing in Excel, which lacked advanced features for creating visually appealing charts.
- Customization Challenges: Standard reports could not be easily adapted to specific needs, forcing HR professionals to export multiple reports and manually combine data for the desired output.
- Time-Consuming Processes: Manually creating PowerPoint slides involved numerous steps, such as exporting data, validating numbers, and creating charts, making the process inefficient.
These challenges significantly affected AGCO’s business by delaying insights, reducing operational efficiency, and limiting strategic responsiveness. The reliance on external tools and manual processes increased costs and hindered effective workforce management.

Quinnox stepped in with tailored recommendations, focusing on streamlining and automating AGCO’s succession planning and people analytics processes. The solutions centered on two key areas: Succession Planning and People Analytics.
