The Scope

A full-cycle SAP implementation was delivered for a metal industry company to establish a centralized information environment and standardize retail and wholesale operations. The project covered all stages — from pre-project analysis and development of target corporate templates to system configuration, go-live, and post-implementation support.

The Problem

The absence of unified processes and systems created inefficiencies in both retail and wholesale channels. Sales operations were not standardized, making it difficult to consolidate information, control costs, and scale the business effectively. Without integrated workflows, decision-making was slower and less data-driven.

The Solution

• Development of corporate templates for wholesale and retail sales
  
• Design of detailed target business processes
  
• Full SAP ERP configuration and deployment
  
• Go-live execution with structured post-implementation support
  

The implementation introduced harmonized sales processes aligned with SAP best practices. Integrated modules such as MDG, BPC, ARIBA, MM, PP, TOPO, SD, TM/LE, PS/IM, GL/AP/AR, TAX, AA, FM, TRM, HCM/PY, and Analytical Reporting enabled end-to-end visibility across operations.

By centralizing data and standardizing workflows, the company gained better control over sales channels, inventory, logistics, and financial management. The transformation was executed according to a structured roadmap, ensuring alignment between business objectives and system capabilities.

The Outcome

• Target solution templates successfully implemented for retail and wholesale
  
• Centralized information environment established
  
• Increased sales revenue and improved cost efficiency
  
• Greater transparency and control across operations
  
• Project completed within 12 months
  

The company achieved a unified sales management framework that supports growth, improves reporting accuracy, and enhances operational control. Standardized processes enabled more effective coordination between departments and provided management with reliable, real-time data for decision-making.

As one stakeholder summarized:

“Improving sales starts with improving processes. ITP provided a clear transformation roadmap and successfully delivered the change according to the planned scope and schedule.”
