Delivering S/4HANA Transformation in the Automotive Industry

The customer, a British automotive manufacturer, has been running SAP WM on ECC6 since 2001, upgrading and customising the system during this time. Due to a planned S/4HANA migration within its parent company, the manufacturer was given the opportunity to implement SAP EWM for its own operations, separately from the wider business.

We were engaged to deliver the implementation based on our EWM and S/4HANA expertise, and the positive working relationship we have developed with the customer through several successful SAP supply chain projects together.

Working closely with the customer’s internal team to understand its processes and requirements, our expert consultants successfully delivered a blueprint report for the rollout of decentralised EWM on S/4HANA at its two UK warehouses.

Based on our blueprint, we will now be moving forward with the implementation at the two sites, plus an additional automated small parts warehouse.

A detailed design phase will ensure that the blueprint is still the best-fit solution for the customer, taking into account the requirements of the additional site, any potential internal business strategy or system changes and the latest EWM and automotive releases and roadmap from SAP.

The system will then be expertly built and configured by our team, working closely with the customer to ensure that it encompasses all processes required. We will also be overseeing all required testing, as well as the go-live and post implementation support.

Commenting on this latest win, our head of sales, Paul Fraser, said: “We are excited to be continuing our work with this longstanding customer, utilising our experience and expertise to deliver the benefits of SAP EWM and S/4HANA to its operations.

“Years of collaboration on SAP supply chain related projects has meant we have developed a close and collaborative relationship with the customer, as well as a unique understanding and experience of its systems and processes, making us the perfect partner to deliver on its requirements.

“Having already successfully developed the blueprint for the implementation, we are well placed to make an accelerated start on the project, and we can’t wait to begin.”
