Less complexity: clear and sustainable financial processes for an industrial group
The Challenge
An international industrial group wanted to make its financial processes more efficient, transparent, and modern. Multiple parallel SAP systems led to a high level of coordination effort and media breaks. Many processes, such as order-to-cash and procure-to-pay, were heavily manual and consumed valuable resources. The goal was to create a harmonized, digitized process landscape that combines speed, quality, and scalability.
Our solution
Our consultants developed a structured transformation program. The focus was on setting up a central program and project management office (PMO) to create transparency and controllability across all subprojects. Central financial processes—from accounting and controlling to treasury—were analyzed and optimized. Our team supported the introduction of SAP S/4HANA and middleware solutions for integrating different systems. Methodologically, our experts relied on a hybrid approach: classic project management structures combined with agile methods such as Scrum and Kanban. This made it possible to manage complex dependencies, establish clear rules and communication channels, and involve the specialist departments in the transformation in a targeted manner.
The result
After around two and a half years, a modern, lean, and scalable financial organization was in place. Core processes now run up to 30% faster, numerous manual steps have been automated, and data quality has been significantly improved. Thanks to the harmonized system landscape and standardized processes, the company has not only gained efficiency but also transparency across all financial flows. The pragmatic, solution-oriented collaboration was particularly appreciated—with a team that remained reliable and focused even in a challenging environment.
