Then talk to us!
Our approach significantly boosts usage across all business units and your entire supplier base – plus enhances the global coverage.

Here’s how to get the most of your S/4HANA migration

Manufacturing companies worldwide are currently being forced to migrate from SAP R/3 to S/4HANA – a major challenge that also requires a thorough review of all connected solutions. In the past, many companies relied on custom-built, best-in-class portals to collaborate with suppliers. It is now becoming apparent that these cannot be integrated into the new technology.

A range of global market leaders have decided in favor of a state-of-the-art approach with SupplyOn to overcome this challenge. Why? SupplyOn can not only be integrated with S/4HANA, but also offers a suite of leading, integrated solutions that can smoothly replace existing patchwork systems.

This approach provides a robust technical base that significantly boosts usage across all business units and the whole supplier base – plus enhances the global coverage.

Why SupplyOn?

SupplyOn offers major business benefits for the future direction of your IT architecture and serves as a stabilizing platform during the migration to S/4HANA. This both secures your operational supply chain processes and minimizes the risks of the migration.

The cloud-based architecture and integration capabilities for end-to-end processes into S/4HANA make SupplyOn a perfect match for companies looking for a smooth and future-proof migration.

“As SupplyOn provides an easy upgrade path for the migration to S/4HANA, our customers did not have to change their existing collaboration systems. As a result, not only was the investment in technology protected, but also the existing implementations. If you opt for SupplyOn today, you will reap the same benefits in the future.“

10 key aspects of SupplyOn’s essential support on your way to S/4HANA

  1. Stepwise migration and coexistence with existing systems
    SupplyOn supports step-by-step migration, in which existing systems continue to run in parallel. Our solutions can be integrated with both systems (ECC and S/4HANA) and enable smooth coexistence. This ensures that supply chain processes are not interrupted during the migration phase.
  2. Consolidation of master data at the highest quality level
    One of the challenges of migrating to S/4HANA is the consolidation of master data. SupplyOn can serve as a supplementary platform to ensure that supplier and material master data is accurate and consistent. We provide data harmonization tools to collaborate and enrich your master data. This can already happen with your existing R/3 system in preparation for upcoming S4/H migration. Well-managed master data is particularly crucial for future AI use cases.
  3. Technological independency and autonomy
    SupplyOn makes you less dependent on a specific ERP provider, which may only offer limited, non-competitive functionalities. In addition, SupplyOn’s solutions have longer product life cycles than classic ERP modules. This protects your investments and safeguards your ROI calculation against unplanned end-of-service.
  4. Applicability for internal collaboration
    In addition to supporting external collaboration with suppliers and service providers, SupplyOn’s software functionalities also cover internal processes. The functionalities can be easily integrated with your S/4HANA system and are a perfect addition. This can help reduce costs and effort for customization, hosting as well as licensing.
  5. Process optimization and standardization
    SupplyOn offers best-practice solutions for optimizing procurement, logistics and quality management processes that companies can implement even before migration. This makes it easier to adapt to the standardized processes in S/4HANA. By integrating SupplyOn, you can seamlessly map your end-to-end supply chain processes in S/4HANA, which accelerates the process of converting to the new SAP architecture. The migration also offers the potential to reduce complexity and map as many processes as possible in the standard system. This is achieved by combining SAP standard functions with SupplyOn standard collaboration processes. SupplyOn is even capable of using flexible configuration functions to eliminate the need for ERP adjustments in the new S/4HANA system. 
  6. Shared view for you and your suppliers
    During the migration from R/3 to S/4HANA and the parallel operation of the two systems, SupplyOn provides both sides – your internal team and your external partners – with a shared, consistent view of the end-to-end processes and all transactions from the various systems.
  7. Risk minimization through continuous operation
    Maintaining business continuity during a migration is crucial. SupplyOn helps ensure business stability by maintaining critical supply chain processes, including during the migration to S/4HANA. You can continue to process supply chain processes such as orders and invoices via SupplyOn without interruption.
  8. Cloud-based ecosystem
    Since SAP S/4HANA is built on a cloud-first strategy, SupplyOn fits into this environment with its cloud-based solutions. Companies migrating to the cloud version of S/4HANA can use SupplyOn to operate seamlessly in the cloud while maintaining a high degree of flexibility and scalability.
  9. Onboarding, training and change management
    SupplyOn plays an important role in change management during the migration to S/4HANA. Multiple SupplyOn consulting teams can be deployed in parallel to ensure that all parties involved (e.g. internal colleagues, suppliers, EAI providers, SAP consultants) are optimally integrated into the new processes and empowered to live them.
  10. Quick implementation thanks to pre-implemented solutions
    SupplyOn’s standardized integration solutions for S/4HANA accelerate the migration process. You benefit from rapid implementation and minimal customization. In addition, you can work with us to test specific supplier management processes in the new S/4HANA environment in pilot projects. This makes it possible to identify and minimize project risks.
