| SAP | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2015 | 2018 |
In 2015 Nestle implemented SAP S/4 HANA in an ERP Financial Central Finance deployment that consolidated three regional ERP sources into a single S/4 target. The program migrated financial processing from SAP ERP ECC 6.0 to SAP S/4 HANA and centralized reconciliation and data synchronization across regional systems into a single financial backbone.
Implementation focused on Central Finance capabilities within SAP S/4 HANA and included a structured reconciliation and test management layer. A dedicated Error fix and Reconciliation approach was created and executed, including a proof of concept that completed faster than expected and was extended to production datasets. The Reconciliation and Test Manager led a team of 50 to 70 people and drove KPI creation, deliverables for recon, and operational criteria for what, when, and result acceptance across data groups.
Integrations were driven by daily synchronization from three regional ERP sources into the SAP S/4 HANA target, with troubleshooting and reconciliation assisted by the SAP Application Interface Framework AIF tool. The project evaluated an SAP Analytics Cloud SAC dashboard developed for Nestle to support sustain phase continuous monitoring, and the teams applied Central Finance testing parameters for upgrades from S/4 2020 to S/4 2021.
Governance and process changes included formalized error fix plans, centralized recon methodology, and regular KPI reporting to project teams and management to inform decisions. Testing coordination defined strategy, scope identification, and escalation paths to support end to end Central Finance testing and operational cutover. The deployment reduced data synchronization errors from 5.5 million to zero in the daily execution process, enabling stable financial consolidation on SAP S/4 HANA.

| Nakisa | Legacy | Nakisa IWMS Portfolio | Facility Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2020 | 2020 |
In 2020, Nestle implemented Nakisa IWMS Portfolio as part of a global lease accounting and real estate management migration to the Nakisa cloud. The Nakisa IWMS Portfolio deployment was executed under Nestle’s finance and lease accounting program in Europe, with a primary compliance focus in Switzerland to align with IFRS 16 requirements.
Functional scope concentrated on lease accounting and portfolio management capabilities within the Nakisa IWMS Portfolio, including lease capture, contract lifecycle orchestration, accounting event generation, and disclosure workflow support consistent with Facility Management functional expectations. Configuration work emphasized centralized contract records, accounting rule sets for IFRS 16, and reporting feeds tailored for finance stakeholders.
The implementation integrated Nakisa with Nestle’s SAP systems to synchronize master data and to route accounting postings from Nakisa into SAP financial ledgers, enabling cohesive lease to ledger flows. The solution was provisioned in the Nakisa cloud to consolidate global lease records and to provide a unified portfolio view for real estate and finance teams, with operational coverage focused on finance and real estate management across European operations.
Governance was organized around the finance and lease accounting program, standardizing lease review, accounting approval workflows, and disclosure controls within the Nakisa IWMS Portfolio. The migration to the Nakisa cloud supported improved IFRS 16 compliance and centralized oversight of Nestle’s lease portfolio.
