About synapsis
Digital transformation also presents major challenges for the DRÄXLMAIER Group, especially because the company is continuously growing, with more product variants and new segments being added.
SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management is the ERP solution for a modern process and system architecture and forms the foundation for digitalization at DRÄXLMAIER. With the rollout of SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management, the company is optimally positioning itself to meet market challenges. The synapsis program aims to design and roll out a unified SAP solution for the DRÄXLMAIER Group—across functions, regions, segments, and products. The transition particularly affects processes in the areas of logistics, quality, procurement, and finance.
Process complexity is increasing. All these developments must be kept in step with in the context of digitalization.
That’s why the company-wide synapsis program was launched. In line with the program motto “connection creates intelligence”, the company has opted for a SAP-based system solution.
The shared goal: an integrated process and system landscape for all DRÄXLMAIER locations worldwide.
By choosing the latest SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management technology, DRÄXLMAIER is not only ensuring the future viability of its IT architecture, but also creating the central prerequisite for the company’s digital orientation.
