In 2021, WAAK implemented SAP S/4 HANA as a centralized ERP Financial platform to standardize processes and reporting across its manufacturing operations. The program emphasized the SAP S/4 HANA application as a standard, extensible template that leverages HANA technology for real-time postings and transactional bookings.
The implementation focused on core ERP Financial capabilities, including real-time ledger postings, master data governance and consolidated reporting workflows. Configuration choices favored a standard-uniform approach to keep processes simple and extensible, with attention to clean master data, transparency and reporting accuracy as primary functional objectives. Built-in HANA technology was used to ensure that bookings and other actions are entered into the system in real time, accelerating process throughput.
Ctac Netherlands acted as the SAP partner responsible for implementation delivery and cutover activities. Operational coverage targeted about 380 employees who would interact with the system, spanning finance, administrative functions and site operations across WAAK’s four locations in Kuurne and Kortrijk. The deployment preserved a standardized application baseline to enable future expansion while maintaining uniform behavior across sites.
Program governance was formalized with a steering group, process owners and key users, documented phases and a signed kick-off charter. Change management employed an internal campaign called The Incredible SAP Project, three virtual superheroes to personify design principles, approximately 12 godfathers and godmothers assigned to small cohorts for hands-on support, and an implementation newspaper to communicate progress and testimonials. WAAK stated that the standardization of processes and reporting together with SAP S/4 HANA’s real-time capabilities would greatly increase efficiency, improve master data quality and provide stronger transparency during rollout.
