Our role
Support in the implementation of a SAP S/4HANA Business Transformation
Implementing SAP S/4HANA using the pure greenfield approach is an opportunity to rethink a company’s existing processes and ERP Systems setup
Starting a transformation project from a blank canvas brings companies closer to SAP’s system standards, lowers long term cost of ownership, ensures organizations are working with state-of-the-art technology, and allows them to optimize data and material flows along the entire value chain. Organizations are now more focused on choosing the right transformation strategy that aligns with their wider strategic goals rather than deciding if they need to transform technologically.
At Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, implementing a business-led greenfield SAP S/4HANA Business Transformation was an obvious decision. It holistically changed the current operating model, boosting transparency and efficiency in operations, and ensuring scalability of streamlined processes to meet customer demands and respond swiftly to market changes and opportunities.

A Business Transformation of this scale does not come without challenges, such as integrating with existing systems, navigating complexity in organizational supply chains, and addressing different market segments. Trelleborg Sealing Solutions in partnership with PwC has managed to overcome these challenges together through effective collaboration, scope management, and securing full support from key business stakeholders.
