Post-Merger ERP Integration for a Chemical Treatment Company
Challenge
Following a major merger and acquisition, a chemical treatment company faced the complex task of integrating two distinct ERP systems—SAP S/4HANA—across 140 business applications, 320 business reports, and 160 facilities, including distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and offices. The integration needed to be seamless to unify operations and enhance efficiency, all while managing a large-scale change initiative for 7,200 employees.
Solution
We led the post-merger ERP integration by implementing SAP S/4HANA as the unified ERP system across the company’s diverse operations. The solution encompassed the migration and consolidation of 140 business applications and 320 business reports into a single streamlined platform. Additionally, we managed the integration across 160 locations—spanning distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and corporate offices. To ensure the transition was smooth, we implemented a comprehensive change management strategy for 7,200 employees. This included training, communication, and support systems to ensure users could adapt to the new system.
Results
The successful integration of SAP S/4HANA resulted in a unified system that significantly improved operational efficiency and data accessibility across all facilities. The consolidation of business applications and reports reduced redundancies, streamlined workflows, and improved decision-making capabilities. The change management process empowered employees with the tools and knowledge they needed to effectively navigate the new ERP system, ensuring a smooth transition and fostering adoption across the organization. This led to increased productivity, reduced operational costs, and a stronger foundation for future growth in the merged company.
