Finance Effort Down 30%, With 84% User Adoption in Phase One
A century-old global automotive parts manufacturer had limited supply-chain visibility and largely manual finance processes. We implemented SAP Business ByDesign as one scalable cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform across core functions and standardized finance, logistics, project management and HR on it. Financial processing effort fell 30%, with 84% user adoption in phase one.

Supply-chain and distribution visibility was limited, and financial processes were largely manual. Decisions waited on people to assemble information the systems could not produce. The business was also expanding, which meant it needed an Enterprise Resource Planning platform that could scale with it, not another system to grow out of. Limited supply-chain visibility and manual finance processes are exactly the kind of legacy friction that keeps a long-established manufacturer from moving at the speed of newer competitors. A century of history is an asset in the market and a weight in the back office, where every extra manual step slows a decision that competitors make quickly.
What We Did
We implemented SAP Business ByDesign across the core business functions, then standardized finance, logistics, project management and HR processes on it, so the same process runs the same way whichever part of the business is running it. We built cloud-based workflows for transparency and operational control on top of the standardized processes, so approvals and handoffs are visible as they happen rather than reconstructed afterwards, and adoption reached 84% in phase one.
The Solution
Finance, logistics, project management and HR run on one scalable cloud Enterprise Resource Planning platform. Cloud-based workflows carry approvals through the business with visible status, and supply-chain and distribution activity sits in the same system as the financial view of it.
The Outcome
Financial processing effort fell 30% and supply-chain efficiency rose 30%. Product development runs 25% faster, and 84% of users were on the new platform in phase one rather than working around it. A business with a century of history stopped running its back office by hand. Financial processing takes less effort, supply-chain activity is visible in the same place, and the people who use the system took to it quickly.
