How an FMCG Manufacturer
Automated Import Processes and
Eliminated Manual Workflows with
SAP S/4HANA in 5 Months
The Challenge:
A fast-growing personal care maker (baby care, feminine hygiene and oral care products) was straining under import-heavy supply chains, manual production processes, and limited visibility—hurting quality, costing accuracy, and scalability.
The company partnered with A5E Consulting to implement SAP S/4HANA in just 5 months, replacing fragmented workflows with an integrated, automated backbone for operations.
What we implemented
- Localized import management: automated taxes, customs documentation, subsidy tracking, multi-currency
- Advanced manufacturing: specialized BOMs, optimized MRP, hygiene-focused QM, full batch traceability
- Comprehensive costing: landed-cost transparency, automated pricing, profitability by product line
- Change management: phased, role-based training and 30-day post–go-live support to drive adoption
- Core modules: SAP PP, QM, MM, SD, FI/CO on SAP S/4HANA
Results that matter
- Up to 15% profit uplift with a scalable, integrated platform and real-time analytics
- 35% lower operational costs through automation and optimized planning
- 100% cost transparency from raw materials to finished goods
- Enhanced quality control, compliance, and real-time decision-making
