Distributor ScanSource has gone live with its SAP Enterprise Resource Planning system in its European operations. This brings it into line with the other global distribution companies include Ingram Micro and Tech Data who are using SAP to provide sales analysis and monitor pricing.
ScanSource says the SAP ERP application in Europe will support its growing business, as the ERP system allows for the enhancement of business processes and creation of efficiencies to meet the needs of its operations globally.
“As we continue to broaden our worldwide footprint, it’s imperative to have an efficient, flexible, nimble organization to ensure our focus remains on continuing to provide the highest-quality experience for our reseller and vendor partners,” said Blake Zemp, CIO, ScanSource. “Our team's dedication and effort resulted in our going live in Europe on time and on budget, and our European vendor and reseller partners have a stronger partner with a stable and scalable system to meet their needs and support their future growth. The Europe implementation lays a solid foundation for our transition to this new system in North America later this year.”
SAP Consulting Services acted as the prime system integrator on the project, using its Wholesale Distribution software solution. Technology used includes the SAP for HANA high-speed data analytics platform.
