Elmer Dienstleistungs GmbH & Co KG Success Story of a customer project
The leading HVACR wholesaler has mastered its successful transition to SAP S/4HANA in only twelve months – together with its long-standing IT partner FIS. By implementing the FIS/wws industrial solution, the ERP landscape has fundamentally been modernized and made fit for the future. The project was completed successfully without any downtimes and shows how purchasing, sales and distribution, logistics and controlling nowadays benefit from an advanced and cloud-enabled environment.
The new system landscape enabled a cross-divisional optimization and digitization of processes. Automated and simplified process flows and improved performance reduce the workload of employees in daily business. In this way, the Elmer Group is excellently positioned for the years to come and further digitization steps.
