In 2021, Arla UK implemented SAP ERP ECC 6.0 as its ERP Financial platform to anchor finance, accounting, and transactional master data alongside a major warehouse automation initiative at the Aylesbury dairy. The SAP ERP ECC 6.0 deployment was executed to provide a stable financial backbone while enabling integrated supply chain orchestration with SAP Extended Warehouse Management for cold-store intralogistics.
The implementation combined standard ERP Financial capabilities such as core general ledger, accounts payable and receivable, and fixed asset accounting with a tailored SAP EWM configuration for high-throughput dairy operations. SAP Extended Warehouse Management used built-in Material Flow System functionality to control Automated Guided Vehicles, and the project included multiple high-impact EWM extensions developed where out-of-the-box capabilities did not meet specific dairy handling requirements.
Integration work tied SAP EWM into the SAP ERP ECC 6.0 environment, production systems, and external business partner interfaces, and incorporated a comprehensive mobility stack including scanning, voice and RFID technologies. Rocket acted as implementation partner and worked alongside AGV provider EK Automation to deliver the MFS-driven AGV control and to deploy Rocket Packs to accelerate EWM enhancements.
Project governance followed a staged handover and knowledge transfer approach, Rocket performing build and unit testing in development while Arla executed end-to-end testing in quality systems, with Rocket providing close support and training Arla trainers for end-user rollout. The combined SAP ERP ECC 6.0 and SAP EWM implementation reduced labour intensity and operating expenditure in the cold-store, enabled handling of over one billion litres of fresh milk annually, and supported Arla UK operational and environmental ambitions for the site.

| SAP | Legacy | SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central | Core HR | HCM | n/a | 2017 | 2018 |
In 2017, Arla UK implemented SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central as its Core HR platform to standardize HR processes across a dispersed workforce. The deployment emphasized centralized employee records and a mandated self service global recruitment workflow inside SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central to enforce consistent hiring procedures.
Arla required employees and hiring managers to follow a self service global recruitment process within the application, but initial adoption produced frequent data errors and elevated contact to HR support. To address usability friction the project layered WalkMe Digital Adoption Platform into the user experience, simplifying self service tasks, automating select steps, and reducing the time users spent navigating recruitment workflows.
The implementation combined SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central recruitment and employee self service capabilities with WalkMe guidance to deliver contextual, in app help at the point of need and in real time. Operational coverage focused on hiring managers and HR support teams across Arla UK, aligning system workflows with existing recruitment operations and frontline HR processes.
Governance centered on enforcing the global self service recruitment process and embedding step by step guidance to reduce manual intervention. As a result, support requests declined steeply and hiring managers were able to reallocate effort to higher value activities such as ensuring candidate quality rather than back office administration.

| SAP | Legacy | SAP BW (Business Warehouse) | Data Warehouse | Analytics and BI | n/a | 2014 | 2014 |
In 2014, Arla UK implemented SAP BW (Business Warehouse) as a Data Warehouse platform to centralize sales and finance reporting. The implementation was delivered alongside the EU sales finance director to design and develop standardized templates for forecast sign-off and month-end reporting across markets.
SAP BW (Business Warehouse) was configured to consolidate market-level sales and financial data and to host the reporting logic used to produce month-end packs and forecast sign-off templates. Reporting outputs were authored using Excel, SAP BW and PowerPoint, with SAP BW providing the central data model and query layer while Excel and PowerPoint served as authoring and presentation tools for finance teams.
Operational scope focused on EU sales finance and market reporting processes, with governance changes to standardize templates and the forecast sign-off workflow to eliminate duplicate market submissions. The explicit outcome from the program was removal of market duplicate reporting and creation of one set of numbers for month-end and forecast sign-off across the covered markets.
