Case Study: Amer Sports achieves centralized, streamlined global lease management with Nakisa Lease Administration

Amer Sports Streamlines Lease Management for Global Multi-ERP Landscape with Nakisa Lease Administration

Amer Sports, a Finland-based sporting goods group with global brands like Salomon and Wilson and roughly 9,500 employees, faced a complex, decentralized leasing landscape—more than 1,500 contracts across warehouses, stores, offices and vehicles, multiple disconnected ERPs alongside SAP, multi-currency and indexation needs, and growing lease volumes tied to a retail strategy shift. The company needed a single, cloud-based, SAP-integrated solution to meet IFRS 16 compliance, consolidate siloed data, and give worldwide users a unified view of lease assets and liabilities.

Amer Sports implemented Nakisa Lease Administration as a single cloud instance with native SAP integration, centralized contract and accounting data, and embedded document storage. The result was streamlined, scalable lease accounting used by 80+ operators, faster resolution of lease issues, improved visibility into liabilities and commitments, centralized reporting from the European Financial Shared Service Center, and measurable time and cost savings across finance teams.
