ConMet Leverages SAP: Cutting Cost, Automating Processes & Gaining Greater Visibility
During this economy, many organizations are looking to cut costs but still improve efficiency and gain tighter control of their suppliers and processes. What many companies may overlook during this time is leveraging their SAP systems to cut costs and gain tighter control of their trading partner networks, customers, supplier and partners. Consolidated Metco (ConMet), a leading manufacturer of components for the commercial vehicle industry, was looking to replace their complex legacy environment that was developed internally over a period of 20 years and improve their integration into SAP R/3, as well as automate communication outside the firewall from their 5 manufacturing plants onto one system. Through this process they were able to standardize business processes between locations to process daily forecasts, production sequencing, shipping and acknowledgement messages, and invoices between the plants and the Tier 1 heavy truck manufacturers. Learn how ConMet has: • Cut costs while simplifying their IT infrastructure • Automated processes that once required manual intervention • Accelerated the on-boarding of new trading partners, and • Reduced the time required to implement change requests from existing trading partner
