The S/4 deployment was carried out in an agile approach with short-duration easily consumable projects throughout.ĥ-Phase implementation leveraging RunWay approach Delivering the project on time, on budget and on scope Fit to standard or fit to business?Ī fit-to-standard solution with minimal customizations ensures a faster implementation, better ROI, and a reduced cost of ownership.

We deployed the RunWay approach for our client’s S/4 migration with implementation across multiple phases. The Applexus RunWay approach creates a progressive roadmap enabling speed to value by breaking it down into easily consumable projects with each project building on previous projects toward the goal of a modern digital platform powered by S/4HANA. Hence, it is important to create a roadmap that considers factors such as complexity of existing landscape, the client’s risk tolerance and ability to consume change. This is an oversimplification as each client is unique with SAP systems that have evolved over time with a mix of ECC and other platforms. Most organizations today, while migrating to S/4HANA decide to go for a greenfield or brownfield implementation. Moreover, the client’s business had grown substantially, and to support this they decided to migrate to SAP S/4HANA and benefit from the significant new functionalities with Applexus as their implementation partner Key challenges The client was also facing significant challenges with respect to inventory visibility, Master data capabilities and Data integrity.

They were on SAP ECC 6.0 Finance with other ERP systems that had stability issues impacting their warehouse operations. Our client is a leading grocer in the US operating more than 200 supermarkets across the southeastern US. Why our client wanted to move to SAP S/4HANA? This is where S/4HANA comes in and forms the digital core of a retail enterprise helping provide a truly omnichannel experience. Studies show that by 2021 nearly 77% of retailers will survey plans to have AI in place for an improved shopping experience. The new age tech savvy end consumer is more informed than ever of their buying decisions and retail companies need to offer value and a great shopping experience to retain them. SAP S/4HANA has been a revelation for the retail industry.
