Döhler is a worldwide manufacturer, marketer and supplier of technology-based natural ingredient systems and integrated solutions for the food and beverage industry.
apsolut was commissioned by Döhler with the ambitious project to implement SAP Ariba Buying and Guided Buying, including a deep integration with the SAP S/4HANA system, within a record-breaking time of three months. The normal timeframe for a project of this scale is around six months.
By the start of the first workshops, which were very tightly organised, Döhler did not have any automated approval workflows. Thus, manual efforts were high, and the process reliability was to be improved. The key to success was the efficient teamwork of the apsolut experts with the Döhler employees in Germany and Turkey, in combination with the high decision-making ability on customer’s side.
But the software is only one side of the coin! The other side is user acceptance.
"From the beginning of the project, we have made a remarkable change together with apsolut. The Döhler employees find their way through the easy user interface without any prior knowledge of SAP. As a result, our purchasing department is no longer an operational procurement office, but a team of in-house consultants."
says Shibu Palakalodil, Project Manager SAP Ariba Implementation.
Ten suppliers and 150 free-text suppliers were connected to the new catalogue solution. All procurement processes at all locations throughout Germany were streamlined and automated through automatic account assignment, which significantly accelerated ordering processes. The intuitive Guided Buying user interface was accepted by the users within a short period of time and without any initial difficulties.
