SAP S/4HANA is one of the most deployed post-modern ERPs. Whilst the ERP of the 20th century concentrated on the digitization of business processes, the post-modern ERP focuses on the digital transformation of the business process. In this blog, I will talk about how SAP S/4HANA transforms Service Parts Fulfillment.

• Improve service parts planning, fulfillment, and customer service through integrated functionality for global parts sourcing, availability, and price optimization
• Gain real-time visibility into service parts inventory across the supply chain
• Increase the efficiency of supply chains for service parts through aligned, streamlined processes that address parts planning, warehousing, and fulfillment

Recently, Kaar Tech helped a high tech manufacturer to migrate from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA. If you would like to understand why they moved from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA, then I suggest reading this whitepaper. It explains the business benefits and technical benefits accrued as a result of the SAP S/4HANA migration.
