Case Study: ContiTech achieves unified global efficiency with SAP S/4HANA and BearingPoint

ContiTech unifies 130+ sites with BearingPoint using SAP S/4HANA

ContiTech, a division of Continental AG and a global manufacturer of rubber and plastic products, faced operational inefficiencies due to a fragmented IT landscape with over 12 unsynchronized SAP R/3 systems. This heterogeneous environment led to data duplication, a lack of visibility into product lifecycles, and lengthy consolidation processes. To standardize its operations and build a digital foundation for future growth, ContiTech partnered with vendor BearingPoint to implement a new SAP S/4HANA system.

BearingPoint employed a Greenfield strategy to design and build a harmonized, global SAP S/4HANA template for ContiTech. Using a holistic and agile approach, the vendor facilitated the rollout across more than 130 locations, streamlining processes in key functional areas like finance, production, and sales. The solution replaced the legacy ERP systems, eliminating redundancies and significantly improving operational accuracy and efficiency. This provided ContiTech with a robust, scalable foundation for sustainable development and innovation while also preparing it for the upcoming SAP Business Suite 7 maintenance outage.
