| SAP | Legacy | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2012 | 2012 |
In 2012, Westrock implemented SAP ERP ECC 6.0 to support core ERP Financial processes across PBO plants, warehouses, and subcontractor sites, executing a targeted rollout from May 2012 through December 2012. The implementation covered the PBO Division operational footprint, bringing manufacturing sites, distribution warehouses, and external subcontractor locations under a consistent ERP Financial configuration and operational model.
The project scope included system configurations and targeted enhancements, master data review, and comprehensive configuration of cost accounting capabilities. Key functional capabilities implemented in SAP ERP ECC 6.0 included Material Ledger and Standard Cost processing, with documented plant closing workflows that referenced DUV, Cost Collectors, Production Orders, and Order Settlements to support manufacturing cost capture and inventory valuation.
Testing and validation phases were structured across unit and integration levels, with UAT testing, system validation, and regression testing, followed by post go live ECP validation, stabilization, and ongoing support. The team also supported the period closing process and led training and testing activities that encompassed all functional areas, delivering transaction based and cross functional training materials to operational users.
Program governance included ongoing management of the PBO Division annual standard cost process for manufacturing sites, warehouses, and subcontractors, and a formal post go live gap analysis as sites went live. Lessons learned were documented and processes were modified to prevent reoccurrences, enabling knowledge transfer to end users and operational stabilization of SAP ERP ECC 6.0 for ERP Financial operations.

| UKG | UKG Workforce Central (ex Kronos Workforce Central) | UKG Pro Workforce Management Absence (ex UKG Dimensions Absence) | Absence and Leave Management | HCM | n/a | 2024 | 2025 |
In 2024, Westrock implemented UKG Pro Workforce Management Absence (ex UKG Dimensions Absence) as its Absence and Leave Management solution. The deployment replaced UKG Workforce Central (ex Kronos Workforce Central) and targeted absence controls across Westrock's manufacturing operations, covering approximately 50,000 team members in more than 320 operating and business facilities across North America, South America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
The implementation emphasized core absence management functional modules, including absence tracking, configurable leave types and accrual rules, absence request and approval workflows, and eligibility and compliance rule configuration. Configuration and system design work reflected the responsibilities described for a Senior Kronos Architect, including detailed system configuration, documentation of settings and ongoing changes, and formal gap analysis against business requirements.
Migration activities included mapping legacy configurations from UKG Workforce Central to UKG Pro Workforce Management Absence, conducting gap analysis to identify required configuration and development changes, and executing test plans and test cases to validate leave rules and approval routing. Operational coverage focused on HR and operations teams responsible for timekeeping, leave administration and workforce planning across manufacturing sites and business units.
Governance and rollout centered on comprehensive business requirement documentation, test artifacts, user training materials and implementation documentation to support adoption and change control. The deployment required translating complex configuration into clear operational procedures, with the Senior Kronos Architect providing subject matter expertise throughout requirements capture, testing and rollout.

| Amtech | Legacy | Amtech EnCore ERP | Manufacturing ERP | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2015 | 2015 |
In 2015, Westrock implemented Amtech EnCore ERP. The deployment targeted Manufacturing ERP functions to support plant-level purchasing, MRP scheduling and production planning at Westrock Lake Mary, Florida, aligning system outputs with procurement and scheduling managers and the customer service team.
Amtech EnCore ERP was configured to run Amtech MRP scheduling workflows, purchase order processing, raw material receipt tracking, inspection checkpoints, production quantity planning and ship date coordination. Configuration emphasized MRP scheduling capabilities to orchestrate order execution from placement to fulfillment and to manage daily logistics volumes, including handling up to seven truckload shipments per day as recorded by plant operations. Inventory and shop floor control functions provided two week advance schedules and detailed completion plans to supervisors and customer service, supporting rush order management and daily fulfillment planning.
Operational governance included defined scheduling and procurement workflows, supplier communication protocols for resolving fulfillment discrepancies and inspection-driven quality checkpoints embedded in purchase order lifecycles. Steady state operations were centered on the purchasing and scheduling organization at the plant, with the Purchasing and Scheduling Manager responsible for optimizing Amtech MRP scheduling system workflows and streamlining system-driven processes. A documented achievement was the orchestration of efficient utilization of the Amtech MRP scheduling system to streamline order execution from placement through fulfillment.
