Case Study: Carl Stahl achieves faster performance and IoT-ready digital transformation with SAP HANA

Lifting Corporate Processes to the Next Level with SAP S/4HANA®

Carl Stahl GmbH, a global maker of ropes and lifting equipment, faced the challenge of supporting rapid growth and a corporate reorganization with a more agile, high-performance IT landscape. The company needed faster systems, digitized service processes to capture field data, and a foundation for IoT while keeping costs and complexity under control.

Carl Stahl implemented a greenfield migration to SAP HANA and SAP S/4HANA Finance, added SAP BusinessObjects and BW on HANA, moved historical data to a content server, and went live with four clients in six months with dedicated early-adopter support. The rollout delivered 100% of core processes live in six months, higher system performance, greater business-unit agility, a >50% reduction in inspection time, a 90% reduction in database size, and a lower total cost of ownership with an IoT-ready platform.
