Initial situation
An international chemical distribution group with locations in more than 80 countries wanted to break up the complex structures in its sales organization. Two existing SAP systems were to be merged into one system and converted to S/4HANA at the same time. The entire business process was redesigned to ensure efficient B2B trading across the global sales companies and to reduce the cost of application operations permanently.
Our services in the project
- Steering and project management of the S/4HANA implementation in the EMEA, South America and APAC regions (Scrum)
- Reporting to the steering committee and top management, managing time, budget and quality
- Process harmonization and optimization, sales logistics concepts from specification to implementation
- Design of processes in Transportation Management (TM) and Extended Warehouse Management (EWM)
- Contribution to the B2B e-commerce platform
- End-user training, go-live support, hypercare and support
Result
The system consolidation and S/4HANA conversion were completed successfully, and the new sales structures were rolled out worldwide. Lean processes replace the old, error-prone workflows; real-time analytics are available to management promptly, and the cost of application operations fell significantly.
