Kanaden Corporation | Manufacturing | 876 | $76M | Japan | SAP | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | 2020 |
In 2020, Kanaden Corporation adopted SAP S/4 HANA as its next-generation global business management platform and became the first project in Japan to implement SAP Japan's Intelligent Enterprise Standard Solution Model i-ESM. The deployment was led and project-managed by IPS, which delivered the IPS i-ESM implementation and the EasyOne Trading package to align preconfigured trading business flows with Kanaden's operations. Kanaden implemented SAP S/4 HANA ERP Financial to address complexity in back-office work and to provide a standardized core ERP foundation across its trading business in FA systems, building equipment, infrastructure, and information and devices.
The implementation focused on standard model configuration rather than bespoke development, using the EasyOne Trading package to preserve Kanaden business flows and outputs while accelerating configuration. Functional capabilities implemented include core ERP financials, trading and order-to-cash workflow standardization, and operational process review to reduce project delivery effort. The i-ESM framework was applied to enable future layering of digital capabilities such as AI, machine learning, and RPA consistent with the Intelligent Enterprise approach.
Integrations and analytics were addressed through the introduction of SAP Analytics Cloud to visualize management data, promote information utilization, and support future-oriented planning and forecasting. System construction and rollout governance were managed by IPS, which coordinated configuration, testing, and delivery using the i-ESM standard model to shorten introduction time and lower project cost. The program explicitly aimed to improve overall company productivity, raise the level of customer service, and increase customer satisfaction.

Kanaden Corporation | Manufacturing | 876 | $76M | Japan | SAP | SAP Analytics Cloud | Analytics and BI | 2020 |
In 2020, Kanaden Corporation implemented SAP Analytics Cloud as part of a broader SAP S/4HANA program using SAP Japan's Intelligent Enterprise Standard Solution Model i-ESM, with IPS responsible for system construction and project management. The deployment aligned SAP Analytics Cloud to the company initiative to visualize management, promote information utilization, implement future prediction capabilities, and enable more precise management planning in the Analytics and BI category.
SAP Analytics Cloud was configured to deliver management dashboards, planning and forecasting workflows, and predictive analytics tied to the i-ESM data model and the SAP S/4HANA core finance and operational domains. The implementation reused the IPS EasyOne Trading package patterns for business flow and outputs, reducing time spent on system construction and allowing configuration effort to focus on Kanaden business rules and reporting models.
Operational scope covered company level management reporting and back-office process visibility where complexity had previously depressed sales efficiency, with SAP Analytics Cloud serving executive reporting, financial planning, and scenario modelling. The project integrated analytics with SAP S/4HANA operational data as part of the i-ESM delivery, supporting information utilization initiatives and future-oriented planning across management and finance functions.
Governance and rollout followed the i-ESM standard model to accelerate introduction of digital capabilities including AI and machine learning enabled scenarios and to create a foundation for RPA driven work automation. IPS led project management and system construction, enabling Kanaden to concentrate on operational review and to pursue stated goals of improved companywide productivity, higher customer service levels, and increased customer satisfaction as communicated by the company.
