ElringKlinger AG | Automotive | 9400 | $1.9B | Germany | SAP | SAP SRM | Supplier Relationship Management | 2018 |
In 2018, ElringKlinger AG implemented SAP SRM as its Supplier Relationship Management platform. The implementation was executed together with the apsolut Group and initiated an upgrade program that migrated SAP SRM to SAP HANA.
SAP SRM was configured to support core procurement and supplier management workflows, including supplier lifecycle management, strategic sourcing, catalogue management, purchase order processing, contract management and supplier evaluation. The deployment emphasized standard Supplier Relationship Management functional processes and workflow automation to centralize procurement request-to-order orchestration and supplier onboarding.
Project governance used a coaching approach defined in a kickoff workshop, with apsolut Group retained as the implementation partner and Hans-Peter Bruder acting as project manager. The migration to SAP HANA was positioned as a strategic step, the switch to HANA representing the first important step towards a complete conversion to SAP S/4HANA at a later date, and the architecture was aligned to support future real-time application capabilities.
