| SAP | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2019 | 2023 |
In 2019, Volkswagen implemented SAP S/4 HANA to replace SAP ERP ECC 6.0 as part of a cross-brand program focused on production logistics. The SAP S/4 HANA deployment is recorded under the ERP Financial category and served as the anchor system for harmonizing finance and logistics master data across multiple manufacturing brands. The program objective emphasized digitalization and standardization of future logistic processes for production plants within the Volkswagen Group.
The implementation centered on SAP S/4 HANA core financial and logistics capabilities, with configuration workstreams covering finance and controlling, materials management, production planning, and warehouse and inventory management. The SAP S/4 HANA implementation used a standardized logistics template for production facilities, enabling consistent configuration, master data models, and process orchestration across sites. Template-driven configuration and S/4 HANA native ledger and material valuation functionality were key to aligning financial and operational postings to plant activities.
Operational scope included a technical global rollout for 17 Volkswagen passenger car plants under a cross-brand program that extended to nearly 60 plants across Audi, Skoda, Volkswagen Group Components and Volkswagen Passenger Cars. The rollout approach prioritized a reusable logistics template for production facilities, sequential IT readiness preparation, and centralized cutover practices to reduce variability between sites. Integrations focused on linking the SAP S/4 HANA instance to plant production and logistics processes, with the S/4 HANA system acting as the enterprise financial and logistics backbone for plant operations.
Governance and delivery were organized around a central IT lead for the S/4 HANA rollout and a deputy Head of Logistics IT for Volkswagen passenger car plants, who managed technical implementation, global rollout sequencing, and local IT project leadership handoffs. Rollout governance emphasized template stewardship, cross-brand process standardization, and coordinated change control for configuration and master data. The program documentation frames SAP S/4 HANA as the primary ERP Financial and logistics platform for ongoing standardization of production plant processes across the Volkswagen Group.

| In-House Applications | Legacy | In-House ATS | Applicant Tracking System | HCM | n/a | 2014 | 2014 |
In 2014, Volkswagen deployed an In-House ATS as its Applicant Tracking System on the Volkswagen corporate careers website. The In-House ATS is an internally developed recruiting application recorded under the companys In-House Applications portfolio, and it serves as the primary public-facing candidate intake and application capture channel.
The implementation encompassed standard Applicant Tracking System capabilities, including job requisition publication to the careers site, candidate application capture and parsing, configurable application forms, status workflow management for recruiters and hiring managers, interview scheduling support, and offer tracking. Configuration work focused on career site embedding, branded candidate experiences, and workflow templates to reflect Volkswagen Group hiring stages.
Operational coverage centered on talent acquisition and recruiting functions across the Volkswagen Group, centralizing candidate records from the website into the In-House ATS and enabling recruiter and hiring manager collaboration within a single system. Governance elements emphasized role-based access control, requisition approval workflows, and standardized candidate progression procedures to align with corporate hiring policies.
The In-House ATS remains positioned as the applicant-facing recruitment layer on Volkswagen's website, operated as an internal application to support ongoing hiring and requisition management processes.
