Case Study: Advantech achieves faster inventory visibility and improved operational efficiency with SAP S/4HANA

Advantech Enabling an Intelligent Planet Through Advancements in Industrial IoT Technologies

Advantech, a global leader in IoT technologies, was growing rapidly across industrial and new vertical sectors, which made ERP processes, inventory visibility, and financial management increasingly complex. To support more data-driven decision-making and operational efficiency, Advantech turned to SAP S/4HANA and SAP HANA.

SAP helped Advantech migrate successfully from SAP ERP to SAP S/4HANA with SAP Advanced Deployment services, even across multiple sites and languages. The new platform reduced inventory and cost analysis time by 75%, cut inventory visibility from 16 hours to 4 hours, improved monthly financial consolidation by 3–4 days, and delivered a 50% faster monthly closing cycle, while also reducing IT costs and boosting planning efficiency by more than 20%.
