The C. F. Sauer Company | Consumer Packaged Goods | 250 | $38M | United States | Oracle | Oracle Peoplesoft Order Management | Order Management | 2003 | n/a | In 2003, The C. F. Sauer Company implemented Oracle Peoplesoft Order Management to formalize centralized order intake and extend its existing PeopleSoft footprint that had supported order-to-cash since 1999. The Oracle Peoplesoft Order Management deployment reinforced a centralized sales capture model with distributed, plant-level production scheduling to support short shelf life products and rapid retailer fulfillment requirements. The implementation encompassed Order Management, manufacturing execution support, supply chain planning and MRP capabilities, plus pricing, promotions and deduction management tied into accounts receivable and financial modules. Configuration emphasized automated pricing and discounting using cost roll ups, promotion start and end date logic, planning exception reports, and what-if scenario support for production schedulers, enabling both make-to-order and make-to-stock workflows. Operationally the system knit together order-to-cash and supply chain planning processes so plant production schedulers could view running availability totals, outstanding sales orders and work orders in near real time. Integrations focused on closed loop connectivity between promotions, deductions, A/R and financial reporting, and on data sharing with major retail partners to support collaborative replenishment and claims handling. The implementation included custom pricing logic to reference commodity price indices for specific raw materials. Governance of the rollout relied on heavy user involvement in evaluation and configuration, supplemented by external consultants to accelerate functional knowledge transfer and reduce training overhead. Modifications were scoped to preserve upgradability, and IT reported markedly improved information timeliness and reporting quality, streamlined order taking, and reduced manual firefighting compared with prior mainframe operations. | |

Delta Pronatura | Consumer Packaged Goods | 410 | $38M | Germany | SAP | SAP R/3 - Sales and Distribution (SD) | Supply Chain Management | 2001 | n/a | In 2001, Delta Pronatura implemented SAP R/3 Sales and Distribution (SD) as a targeted Supply Chain Management deployment for its Neu-Isenburg based consumer packaged goods operations. The project consolidated sales and distribution capabilities under SAP R/3 Sales and Distribution (SD), aligning order management, shipping processing, and customer reporting with an integrated sales and demand planning process. The implementation configured core Sales and Distribution functionality alongside an EDI module and an internal mail system to improve retailer communication and document exchange. Production planning was configured to support order and customer related production for export, while domestic production ran to stock based on integrated demand planning, and management gained timely access to current statistical data. Data conversion and integration work included transferring transaction and master data out of the Siemens Nixdorf Comet environment into SAP R/3 using migration tools from SNI together with in house conversion utilities. Financial related records such as customer profit and loss accounting, asset accounting, and shipping processing were brought into the SAP environment, and production and warehouse management interfaces were consolidated to remove prior manual reentry. The rollout was executed in cooperation with Command AG from Ettlingen, and governance focused on standardizing order to cash and production planning workflows within SAP R/3. As documented, production process visibility and sales transparency increased, and communication with retail partners improved following the SAP R/3 Sales and Distribution (SD) driven Supply Chain Management implementation. | |
