As the global economic landscape undergoes profound restructuring, businesses expanding overseas has become an irreversible trend. However, data shows that over 60% of companies face obstacles in their internationalization process, facing numerous market, political, and cultural challenges. It is crucial for companies to effectively leverage their resources and advantages to achieve low-risk and low-cost global expansion.

Implementation Scope
Organization Scope
- Mongolia and China
Implementation Modules
- Material Management (MM), Production Planning and Control (PP), Sales and Distribution (SD), Financial Accounting (FI), Cost Controlling (CO), Quality Management (QM), and Plant Maintenance (PM)
- Real-time integration with RFID, PLM, Payroll, and POS systems
Project Challenges
- With the rapid growth of its business, the group urgently needed to rebuild its global digital management system for internal controls and external services.
- The disconnect between business operations and financial accounting systems led to significant delays in project-based cost collection and revenue recognition, significantly compromising the company's budget control and resource utilization efficiency.
- Some workshops lacked system management, requiring extensive data cleansing and recoding. Standardizing basic data was a daunting and labor-intensive task.
- Data across various supply chain links (sales, production, and procurement) was fragmented and relied on manual transmission and coordination. MRP calculations were time-consuming, leading to inaccurate procurement lead time forecasts and delayed material supply.
- The production of financial statements, management reports, and consolidated reports all relied on manual methods. This was not only inefficient but also posed risks of data lags and errors, preventing management from gaining timely and accurate insights to support global strategic decision-making.
Project Goal
- Achieve a globally integrated closed-loop management system: Establish an organizational framework and group control model that adapts to the group and its subsidiaries, enabling efficient end-to-end collaboration across the company's product sales and marketing, financial control, supply chain management, operational decision-making, and business support, forming a closed-loop management system.
- Build an agile supply chain planning system: Reshape the entire supply chain management process, from sales forecasting and production planning to procurement execution. Leveraging the SAP system to balance customer order demand, production scheduling, and raw material inventory, we ultimately achieve precise on-demand production and procurement, minimize inventory capital tie-up, and improve overall operational efficiency.
- Establish a group-wide financial control system: Establish a standardized, transparent, and efficient cost accounting and decision-making system to enable accurate profitability analysis of products, orders, and projects. Leveraging SAP S/4HANA as the core, we achieve business and financial integration, operational visualization, and data refinement, shortening checkout times and enabling real-time insights and effective decision-making.
- Unified business and data standards: We have established basic enterprise data standards for materials, customers, suppliers, etc., and highly integrated multiple modules such as production, sales, procurement, and finance. We have unified the data of various departments and business segments, built a data sharing platform, and realized data transmission across positions and departments, reflecting data consistency and sharing.
