Frequently asked questions
Which SAP solutions do you implement for manufacturers?
SAP S/4HANA for production planning, quality and plant maintenance, SAP IBP for planning, SAP Digital Manufacturing for the shop floor, SAP EWM and TM for warehouse and transport, and SAP Ariba for procurement.
Can you connect machines and shop-floor systems to SAP?
Yes. We integrate machines, sensors and MES with S/4HANA using SAP Integration Suite, so production is tracked in real time.
Do you handle plant workforce scheduling and time?
Yes. We implement UKG Workforce Management with our partner WikiWorks, and our own Shift Rostering app on SAP BTP. For one manufacturer in India we unified 7 plants on UKG with 100% compliance and zero pay leakage.
Can you roll out plant by plant?
Yes. We usually start with one plant or one process, prove the result, then roll out to the other sites.
