The equipment manufacturing industry is a pillar industry of the national economy, covering multiple fields such as machinery, electronics, and automobiles.
With the intensification of global market competition, enterprises are facing challenges such as rising production costs, accelerated technological updates, and diversified customer demands. The traditional management model is difficult to cope with complex supply chain collaboration and rapidly changing market environments, resulting in resource waste and low efficiency. In addition, the lag in digital transformation limits the innovation and competitiveness of enterprises.
Therefore, equipment manufacturing enterprises urgently need to optimize resource allocation and improve operational efficiency through digital means to achieve high-quality development.
To help high growth enterprises in the equipment manufacturing industry overcome these challenges, SAP has launched the GROW with SAP solution.
This solution integrates multiple SAP cloud products, accelerated adoption services, community support, and learning resources to ensure that enterprises of different sizes can easily and quickly leverage the digital core capabilities of SAP ERP public cloud, thereby gaining support from over 50 years of industry best practices and driving continuous innovation and development of enterprises.
GROW with SAP empowers the equipment manufacturing industry
Core values
1.Rapid deployment: Traditional ERP systems have a longer implementation cycle, while GROW with SAP provides a ready to use ERP cloud solution that can be deployed within weeks, helping businesses quickly gain value.
2.Industry Best Practices: SAP has accumulated over 50 years of industry experience, providing leading industry standards and best practices to help companies sustainably expand their business scale.
3.Comprehensive support:In addition to providing cloud product solutions, GROW with SAP also includes services, training, and community support to ensure that enterprises receive comprehensive support during their digital transformation process.
4.Flexible Expansion: Based on modular design, enterprises can flexibly adjust system functions according to changes in their own business needs, supporting long-term development.
5.Embedded Business AI: Built in cutting-edge business AI functions suitable for enterprises, supporting real-time data analysis and intelligent decision-making, improving the response speed and decision-making efficiency of enterprises.
Taking a leading manufacturer of soot blowers as an example, its business has developed rapidly in recent years and its market share has been continuously increasing. However, the enterprise has been using the SAP ECC 6.0 system for nearly 20 years, facing problems such as data redundancy, cumbersome operations, excessive customized development, difficulty in system upgrades, and high hardware and operation costs, which have increased the internal operating costs of the group and limited the further development of the enterprise.
Therefore, the company has decided to achieve digital upgrades through the GROW with SAP solution package to create a more flexible and robust digital core that meets the needs of the cloud era.
During the implementation process, the implementation team utilized excellent industry best practices and SAP Activate methods to help the enterprise build a cloud thinking model and ensure smooth implementation. Both parties worked closely together to ensure that the latest product knowledge was fully applied in practical implementation, especially in the application of complex functions such as advanced variant configuration (VC), receiving professional guidance and support.
In the end, after launching GROW with SAP, this soot blower manufacturing company achieved significant results in multiple aspects:
1.System upgrade and user experience: The new SAP ERP public cloud platform not only maintains semi annual technical updates to ensure that enterprises always use SAP’s latest products and best practices, but also introduces an intuitive and easy-to-use SAP Fiori interface to simplify user operations and enhance the user experience.
2.Standardization of business processes:With the help of GROW with SAP solution, enterprises have achieved the reorganization and standardization of business processes, especially in the field of project management, reducing the complexity brought by customized development and improving management efficiency.
3.Financial management optimization: After integrating multiple financial localization solutions, the GROW with SAP solution further highlights its ability to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Through the Golden Tax Direct Connection function, enterprises have achieved automatic generation of financial statements (such as balance sheets, cash flow statements, and statements of changes in owner’s equity), greatly reducing the workload of financial personnel and improving the accuracy of financial data.
4.Smooth operation of critical processes: The smooth operation of the system is one of the biggest gains of this upgrade, especially in the operation of the VC+MTO (Design and Produce by Order) core process. SAP enterprise level support experts provide professional guidance and guarantee to ensure the smooth operation of critical processes.
The GROW with SAP solution provides one-stop digital transformation support for equipment manufacturing enterprises, achieving full process optimization from sales to production through rapid deployment, intelligent decision support, and comprehensive services.
In fact, in the equipment manufacturing industry, there are still many successful cases after implementing GROW with SAP, which have helped our equipment manufacturing enterprises greatly improve management efficiency, integrate business and finance, and ultimately achieve a significant increase in customer satisfaction, laying a solid digital foundation for future sustained growth.
