Case Study: KWC Group AG achieves unified master data and faster time-to-market with SAP SuccessFactors

How the carved-out KWC created an integrated digital infrastructure using SAP software

KWC, an international manufacturer of premium taps and sanitary solutions headquartered in Unterkulm, Switzerland, faced fragmented operations after a corporate carve-out—nine different ERP systems and inconsistent master data across entities. To build a greenfield, cloud-based technology foundation with industry best practices and no customizations, KWC turned to SAP SuccessFactors and the broader SAP solution suite, including RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud and SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central.

SAP SuccessFactors helped standardize HR processes as part of an integrated cloud rollout (alongside RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP Analytics Cloud, Concur Expense, Sales and Service Cloud, and Field Service Management), delivering a unified master data standard and a scalable solution landscape. The deployment—completed within a year—enabled ongoing data-quality monitoring, reduced finance costs by 5% through a financial shared service center, and cut time to market by up to 8% with improved product data management.
