In 2018, Avril Group deployed SAP ERP ECC 6.0 as its core ERP Financial platform, establishing a single transactional backbone for finance and cross-functional business processes. The implementation targeted Finance along with Purchasing, Sales, Logistics, Production, Maintenance, and Quality to centralize financial posting, master data and process orchestration across the business.
The SAP ERP ECC 6.0 rollout encompassed SAP FICO, SD, MM, PP, PM, QM and WM modules, with Radar included within the ERP solution footprint to support warehouse and operational data alignment. Configuration work focused on financial accounting, controlling, order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, production planning, maintenance management and quality management workflows, aligning module settings to standard enterprise process patterns for each function.
The ECC core was integrated with peripheral solutions including APS Futurmaster for advanced planning, OTM for transport execution and LIMS for laboratory and quality data flows, with Applium engaged as the system integrator. Interfaces and functional orchestration were implemented to enable transactional exchange and synchronized process flows between SAP ERP ECC 6.0 and these adjacent systems, preserving end-to-end process continuity.
Governance emphasized monitoring the functional integration and ensuring process consistency and completeness in coordination with business stakeholders, while maintaining deployed applications in operational conditions. A centered team model was established, managing 30 multi-domain Functional Analysts covering Finance, Purchasing, Sales, Logistics, Production, Maintenance and Quality, with a dedicated Responsable IT Consulting Process & Solutions role coordinating process alignment and cross-module functional monitoring.

| Fortify Group | Legacy | Fortify Talent Management | Talent Management | HCM | n/a | 2024 | 2024 |
In 2024, Avril Group implemented Fortify Talent Management to centralize Talent Management processes across its French HR organization. Fortify Group served as the vendor and consulting partner on the engagement, and its public materials cite support for SIRH and talent related transformation including compensation and benefits and broader HR digitalisation efforts in France. The deployment was positioned as part of an enterprise HR digitalisation program focused on consolidating talent workflows.
Implementation scope covered core HR and SIRH data consolidation and talent-management capabilities, with inferred module usage concentrated on compensation and benefits administration, talent profiles, performance and succession workflows, and talent review orchestration. Configuration work emphasized compensation modeling and approval workflows, role based access for HR and total rewards teams, and automation of talent review cycles that are typical within Talent Management platforms. Fortify Talent Management was configured to manage employee records, cost center mapping, and structured talent processes rather than a single isolated module.
Operational coverage targeted Avril Group's HR, compensation and benefits, and talent management functions in France, integrating with existing SIRH sources and HR data feeds as part of the digitalisation effort. Program governance was organized under HR transformation leadership, with Fortify Group providing advisory and implementation support to align business processes to the new Talent Management workflows. The initiative focused on establishing standardized compensation processes and talent review governance across French sites.
