SAP-Business-One-Implementation-Success -in- Manufacturing

The Challenge

The company faced limited visibility into production and shop-floor activities, leading to slow issue resolution and frequent unplanned downtime. Fragmented systems for inventory, scheduling, maintenance, and finance caused manual work, errors, and delayed decisions. As production volumes grew, their legacy setup couldn’t scale, resulting in higher costs and missed delivery risks. With no unified reporting, teams worked in silos without a clear view of performance or efficiency.

  1. Industry - Manufacturing
  2. Project Type - SAP Business One Implementation

Our Solution

The company partnered with Silver Touch Technologies to implement SAP Business One for streamlined manufacturing operations. Shop-floor data machine status, production orders, and material usage was integrated in real time, while maintenance modules were configured to trigger downtime alerts. Inventory replenishment was automated through SAP B1’s Inventory Management, and end-to-end workflows were established from production scheduling to order-to-cash. Custom dashboards delivered live insights on OEE, downtime, cost per unit, and production performance. With seamless integration across operations, finance, and inventory, SAP B1 eliminated data silos and enabled faster, more accurate decision-making.

Benefits

Post-implementation of SAP B1, the manufacturing company realized multiple measurable improvements:

Reduced downtime by ~30%, thanks to proactive alerts and better machine usage tracking enabled by integrated SAP maintenance tools.

Enhanced production visibility: operators and managers can view live production progress, bottlenecks, and resource utilization through central dashboards.

Improved inventory control and reduced material wastage through automated replenishment powered by SAP B1 Inventory.

Faster decision-making and improved financial clarity due to unified access to cost, production, and maintenance data using Financial Management in SAP B1.

Scalability for growth: the company can now add new production lines or product variants without system restructuring.

Stronger alignment across operations, maintenance, and finance, creating a more agile and connected manufacturing environment.
