SAP implementation at Schreiner Group is on the home stretch: Following Schreiner Group’s successful SAP rollout in the areas of HR, Finance, Controlling, Purchasing and Maintenance in recent years, plus the beginning of a partial rollout at our U.S. site in Blauvelt, the conversion of value adding processes to SAP started at our headquarters in Oberschleissheim on January 1, 2021.

New year, new opportunities: Right at the beginning of the year, Schreiner Group put this motto into action. On January 1, 2021, SAP went live for the first production areas, and the first customers, products and manufacturing lines were successfully converted to SAP-supported processes. This marked a milestone achievement in the rollout of a modern ERP system. With SAP S/4HANA, Schreiner Group has opted for a modern, cross-industry ERP solution offering numerous advantages while fully retaining our time-tested product structure and manufacturing process.

With SAP S/4HANA, Schreiner Group has opted for a modern, cross-industry ERP solution offering numerous advantages while fully retaining our time-tested product structure and manufacturing process. SAP optimizes and simplifies many workflows, from development to order planning to manufacturing to aftersales support. The higher data quality of the integrated system and the consistent master data concept yield numerous benefits in planning, procurement, manufacturing control and documentation, and ultimately help us maintain our processes on their typically high level and to continue developing them going forward.

“As a result of the SAP rollout we’re able to raise transparency and process reliability to an even higher level and, consequently, will be able to optimally satisfy current and future customer requirements,” says Dr. Christoph Jung, the SAP implementation project leader. “The conversion has a positive impact not only on our internal processes. Our collaboration with customers, partners and suppliers can be expanded as well, for instance, in the area of electronic connection to customers and suppliers.”

All other customers and products of the German locations will be converted in further implementation stages. The completion of the conversion in Germany will be followed by the international rollout at our two sites abroad.
