How a Global Sports Manufacturer Modernized Their Supply Chain with SAP S/4HANA
Driving Efficiency, Reducing Costs, and Building a Foundation for Global Growth with Advanced Tools and Efficient Processes.
The Challenge: Outdated Systems Slowing Down a Global Sports Powerhouse
This global sports equipment giant might be great at making gear for champions, but their supply chain? Let’s just say it wasn’t winning any medals. Outdated systems, sluggish processes, and a growing mountain of complexity were holding them back. They needed a digital transformation playbook—one that wouldn’t blow the budget or send their operations into overtime. Enter SAP S/4HANA and inoBrix, ready to turn their supply chain woes into a smooth, high-speed operation.
Our Game Plan: SAP S/4HANA and a Brownfield Power Move
Our inoBrix SAP Project Manager took charge, using the SAP Activate methodology to map out every step of the journey. We kicked things off with a Business Readiness Check to spot potential roadblocks and a Business Requirement Check to make sure we weren’t solving problems that didn’t exist.
We dove into ABAP Code Verification because legacy code is like duct tape—useful until it falls apart. Then we built an Environment Architecture Design sturdy enough to handle the chaos of a global operation. With a Brownfield Implementation strategy, we skipped the drama of starting from scratch, upgraded what actually worked, and delivered S/4HANA power without reinventing the wheel.
Early Wins: Faster Timelines, Lower Costs, and Future-Ready Tools
This project isn’t over yet, but the wins are already stacking up:
- Implementation Time Slashed: Brownfield strategy for the win—no detours, no nonsense.
- Costs Kept in Check: Smart moves mean a bigger budget for what matters.
- Future-Ready Tools: S/4HANA’s advanced features are setting them up to outpace the competition.
- Risk and Issue Management: Every hiccup was handled before it turned into a headache.
What’s Next? A Supply Chain Built for Global Domination
This isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a transformation. With SAP S/4HANA in their arsenal, this sports manufacturer is geared up for global growth, agility, and innovation. The competition? They’ll be left wondering what hit them. inoBrix is proud to be their MVP, helping them make digital transformation look like a walk in the park.
