Case Overview
AGP Group operates manufacturing plants and tech innovation centers globally, with commercial offices in 20 countries. To maintain standardized quality, they aim to streamline operations across all facilities into one global SAP ERP. However, this was challenging with their China plants still running on different systems.
The company sought an experienced and reliable SAP service provider to help align their China Plant operational structures with the rest of their production plants through SAP S/4HANA Migration.
CHALLENGES
