Novoferm Utilizes mySAP ERP to Streamline Processes

Facing rapid growth, disparate and inaccurate reporting from subsidiaries, and difficulties analyzing market trends, Novoferm, a manufacturer of doors, door systems, and frames, turned to SAP to implement their mySAP ERP solution in order to improve business insight and enable them to respond more quickly to customer needs. Initially, Novoferm implemented SAP R/3 to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and cope with growth. However, many of Novoferm’s subsidiaries continued to run their own applications and reporting systems. The result was a multiplicity of reporting formats. For management, this meant a time-consuming and error-prone reporting process when attempting to assess the overall health of the business. By implementing mySAP ERP across the entire organization, Novoferm was able to quickly generate detailed reports, had greater confidence in their accuracy, and improved communication between subsidiaries, thus increasing efficiency and production. The mySAP ERP solution also made system maintenance easier while reducing administrative costs. Read more >
