Case Study: Ariete improves process visibility and productivity with SAP S/4HANA

How Ariete is using SAP S/4HANA to increase efficiency in materials management, production planning, quality management, warehouse management, sales, finance, and maintenance

Ariete, a Bulgarian automotive manufacturing and logistics group operating across Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, was looking to improve efficiency in materials management, production planning, quality, warehousing, sales, finance, and maintenance. The company needed better automation, AI, and robotics support to strengthen process visibility, reduce warehouse labor needs, and improve compliance.

SAP implemented SAP S/4HANA, including embedded extended warehouse management and plant maintenance capabilities, to streamline warehouse and production operations and improve financial control. As a result, Ariete achieved a 20% reduction in total manufacturing costs, 40% shorter order lead times, 99.92% inventory accuracy, 65% higher on-time delivery, and 90% less time spent on invoicing, while also gaining real-time visibility that improved decision-making.
