In 2015, Ferrero UK deployed SAP ERP ECC 6.0 as an ERP Financial application. Ferrero UK operates from its Head Office in Greenford Greater London and the implementation supported local finance and order management workflows within a global confectionery company with operations across Europe, Africa, the Americas and Asia.
The SAP ERP ECC 6.0 deployment centered on core financial accounting and transactional processing, plus operational order-to-cash reporting and master data creation workflows. Operational activities included extraction of daily BI reports for forecasting and planning and extraction of daily open orders and deliveries from SAP ERP ECC 6.0 for business consumption. The implementation also interfaced functionally with SAP CRM where trade promotions and claims management were supported.
Integrations were explicit, SAP PI was used for EDI interfaces with third-party partners and daily SAP ECC and PI monitoring and EDI troubleshooting were part of operational support. BI reporting pipelines and SAP Solution Manager were used for ticket logging and incident management, with escalation coordination to colleagues in Luxembourg. Testing governance included unit testing in QA environments, execution of user acceptance testing scripts and active engagement with business stakeholders and project managers.
Governance emphasized stakeholder workshops, material master data governance in CRM upon business request, and close collaboration with external business partners during project phases. A recorded operational challenge was insufficient training and a poor support structure from line management which affected support and knowledge transfer.

In 2016, Ferrero UK implemented SAP HCM (HR) to centralize Core HR functions across HR Shared Services and retail line management. The deployment combined SAP HR back end processing with SAP Fiori front end access to provide transactional HR, employee self service, and HRIS reporting capabilities for the UK site.
The implementation addressed recruitment and onboarding by digitising workflows, with a Recruitment Project led alongside the HRIS Manager and Head of Talent Acquisition that tied SuccessFactors onboarding flows into SAP HR. Functional capabilities implemented included core employee master data, onboarding workflow orchestration, pension administration for three schemes including auto enrolment processing, and reinstatement of the long service awards process that had been paused.
Operational integrations reflected the multi-system HR landscape, with SuccessFactors connected for onboarding orchestration, ADP Freedom used for payroll interfacing, Solman Ticketing Tool employed for HR case management, and supporting systems including SharePoint, Retail J, and KDS for travel and expenses. The configuration emphasized end user access through SAP Fiori and back end record management in SAP HR to support HR Shared Services operations and retail line manager interactions.
Governance and process changes were driven by HR Shared Services, with the HRIS function coordinating configuration and the Talent Acquisition team driving recruitment workflows. Regular feedback to retail line management via an HR newsletter was used to educate end users, improve operational efficiency, and contributed to improved customer satisfaction.
