Case Study: ScanSource, Inc. achieves faster acquisitions and scalable global growth with SAP HANA
A SAP HANA Case Study
Digitizing Tools for Better Vendor and Software Support with SAP ERP Central Component
ScanSource, a Greenville, SC–based wholesale distributor of high‑tech software and digital tools (about $3.2B revenue, 2,100 employees), faced a fragmented IT landscape after rapid acquisitions—running as many as ten legacy systems. The company needed a single, global platform to simplify product maintenance, enable partners to act on discounts, support vendor and reseller collaboration, and handle complex contract, chargeback, and special‑pricing processes.
ScanSource standardized on SAP ERP Central Component as its digital core and rolled out SAP Business Warehouse powered by SAP HANA, SAP BusinessObjects, SAP Global Trade Services, and the Vistex SAP Paybacks and Chargebacks application. Within 18 months about 80% of the company underwent digital transformation, giving ScanSource a stable, scalable platform that accelerated acquisitions and integrations, boosted revenue and market share, and concentrated IT skills on a single, growth‑ready technology stack.
