Case Study: Alliance Contract Manufacturing achieves 30% inventory reduction and 20% procurement savings with SAP HANA (SAP S/4HANA Finance)

Managing Inventory Levels More Effectively with the SAP S/4HANA Finance Solution

Alliance Contract Manufacturing (ACM), a Penang-based electromechanical contract manufacturer serving global high-tech clients, specializes in made-to-order electronic components and precision assemblies. Facing fragmented data, slow reporting, and the need for flexible, scalable systems to meet strict customer specifications and delivery timelines, ACM needed real-time visibility across its subsidiaries to strengthen its position in the global outsourcing market.

ACM implemented SAP S/4HANA Finance across subsidiaries in three months, integrating with existing systems to accelerate operations, increase control, and enable real-time decision making. The rollout delivered measurable benefits—30% lower inventory, 20% more procurement savings, and a 50% reduction in uncollectible receivables—while providing the scalability and visibility to expand into Europe and adopt cloud-based customer solutions.
