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. For high growth enterprises in the equipment manufacturing industry, SAP has launched the GROW with SAP solution package, which includes a series of SAP cloud product solutions, accelerated adoption services, community support, and learning resources to ensure that different enterprises can quickly adopt the digital core of SAP ERP public cloud, easily access SAP’s industry best practices accumulated over 50 years, promote continuous innovation and growth of equipment manufacturing enterprises, and face the future.
The equipment manufacturing industry is facing an urgent need for digital transformation, and enterprises need efficient solutions to improve operational efficiency, optimize resource management, and cope with the challenges brought by market fluctuations and technological complexity. The core values of GROW with SAP are reflected in the following aspects:
Through the GROW with SAP solution package, equipment manufacturing enterprises can accelerate digital transformation, improve operational efficiency, optimize resource management, enhance market competitiveness, and achieve sustained business growth and innovation.
A leading soot blower enterprise has experienced rapid business development in recent years, with a continuously increasing market share. 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 customization and development, difficulty in system upgrades, and high hardware and operation costs, which have led to increased internal friction within 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, SAP utilizes excellent industry best practices and SAP Activate methods to help enterprises build cloud thinking models and ensure smooth implementation. Through close collaboration with customers, SAP applies the latest product knowledge to implementation, ensuring maximum satisfaction of specific enterprise demands while shortening information transmission paths. Especially in the implementation of advanced variant configuration (VC) functionality, SAP provides comprehensive support, enabling enterprises to efficiently solve problems in complex configuration processes.
After launching GROW with SAP, the enterprise achieved significant improvements and benefits in the following areas:
By implementing the GROW with SAP solution package, the soot blower enterprise has significantly improved operational efficiency, reduced system maintenance costs, optimized business processes, and maintained flexibility that matches business development in the cloud era. This lays a solid foundation for the future growth of enterprises, especially in the face of constantly changing market environments and fierce competition, enabling them to respond to demand faster and maintain competitiveness. This case provides strong reference for other equipment manufacturing enterprises, demonstrating how to achieve comprehensive digital upgrading of business through the GROW with SAP solution package, and improve efficiency and compliance.
The GROW with SAP solution package provides comprehensive digital transformation support for equipment manufacturing enterprises, helping them maintain competitiveness in rapidly changing market environments. Through rapid deployment, embedded AI capabilities, and comprehensive support services, enterprises can achieve full process integration and optimization from sales to production, improving operational efficiency and financial transparency. 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. Therefore, equipment manufacturing enterprises can actively adopt the GROW with SAP solution package to accelerate digital transformation, achieve efficient operation and sustainable development.
