Challenge
The client‘s business was rapidly expanding and faced difficulties with the legacy software. As a SAP implementation partner, our team had to address these issues so that the software could meet the growing demands of the enterprise.
Objectives
Rebuild legacy software
Foster visibility and control over the value chain
Solution & functionality
Our team proposed deploying an SAP business suite to automate logistics, finance, HR management, reporting, and more. Utilizing SAP Activate, we managed to integrate best practices and methodologies for smooth S/4HANA implementation.

Financial accounting module (FI)
Our team deployed a finance module to manage transactions within the client’s businesses, covering general ledger and asset management, as well as accounts payable and receivable, financial reports, and bank accounting. All financial activities, income, and expenditures are carefully recorded in the module, so they stay compliant with global accounting standards.
Funds management module (FM)
Using this module, the client can utilize budget resources efficiently. The module enables controlling revenue and expenditures, tracking funds according to financial constraints, and preventing budget excesses, while simultaneously allowing managers to change releases, supplements, returns, and transfers.
![Sales and distribution (SD)](https://timspark.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Sales-and-distribution-SD.webp)
Sales and distribution module (SD)
The module houses customer and sales data, encompassing every facet of the sales cycle. Additionally, utilizing it with Materials Management (MM) and Financial Accounting (FI) modules helps to facilitate sales transactions, oversee orders, devise pricing tactics, and evaluate sales efficacy.
Controlling module (CO)
As the module documents the essential data, stakeholders are enabled with efficient decision-making, supervision, and enhancement of all corporate operations. Additionally, the module compares actual data with the initial plan so that it can be adjusted for a short-term or a long-term period.
Human resources module (HCM)
The last not least important module was integrated to oversee and bolster the client’s workforce — staff administration, organizational oversight, time management, payroll processing, perks, and self-service functionalities for employees, so that human resources are applied to their full potential.
Business intelligence module (BI)
We designed this module for efficient data analysis and reporting, giving the client the possibility to get data from SAP and non-SAP platforms, then convert them into valuable insights. Functionality allows a range of possibilities, like data storage, modeling, creating reports and dashboards, as well as setting key performance indicators (KPIs).
![Materials management (MM)](https://timspark.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Materials-management-MM.webp)
Materials management module (MM)
The module helps to oversee procurement, stock, and warehouse operations along the supply value chain. This implementation ensures timely availability of materials, optimizes inventory levels, and streamlines procurement procedures.
