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.

Heidelberg Materials | Distribution | 51726 | $21.2B | Germany | SAP | SAP Ariba | Procurement | 2024 |
In 2024 Heidelberg Materials implemented SAP Ariba as its enterprise Procurement foundation to harmonize procurement processes across a global supply base. The deployment addressed a supplier ecosystem that includes 130,000 suppliers and approximately €15 billion in managed spend annually, aligning procurement operations with the companys sustainability and ethical sourcing objectives.
The implementation was delivered in a phased sequence beginning with SAP Ariba Contracts, followed by SAP Ariba Buying, SAP Ariba Sourcing, SAP Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance, and SAP Ariba Supplier Risk. Configuration emphasized a unified technology foundation and intelligent procurement process automation, enabling standardized sourcing, contract management, catalog management, and e-procurement workflows across the group.
Integrations were implemented with multiple ERP solutions for ordering, invoice management, and payment to ensure end-to-end transactional continuity between SAP Ariba and financial back-end systems. The rollout was executed remotely with support from partner apsolut Group, using 100% remote deployment methods and reusable video-based training materials to onboard procurement staff across more than 30 country clusters.
Governance changes focused on harmonizing supplier information across sourcing, contract, and catalog domains and embedding supplier onboarding controls such as acceptance of the supplier code of conduct. SAP Ariba Supplier Risk was adopted to evaluate sustainability and social responsibility exposure for suppliers, and the program delivered increased visibility into global procurement operations, harmonized supplier management, and automation-driven productivity gains while completing the remote deployments on time and on budget.

Heidelberg Materials | Distribution | 51726 | $21.2B | Germany | SAP | SAP Ariba Buying and Invoicing | Procure to Pay | 2024 |
In 2024 Heidelberg Materials implemented SAP Ariba Buying and Invoicing as part of a consolidated procurement foundation to standardize sourcing, supplier management, contract management, and e-procurement across the enterprise.

The implementation sequence began with SAP Ariba Contracts and continued with SAP Ariba Buying, SAP Ariba Sourcing, SAP Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance, and SAP Ariba Supplier Risk, creating a modular SAP Ariba landscape. Configuration work focused on harmonizing supplier master data across sourcing, contract, and catalog processes, and on automating routine procure-to-pay workflows so procurement staff could shift effort to higher-value sourcing and vendor evaluation activities.

Operational coverage included procurement teams across more than 30 country clusters and across five continents, extending supplier onboarding, risk assessment, contract governance, catalog purchasing, and invoice processing into a unified Procure to Pay flow.
