Case Study: SLOVARM achieves faster planning, lower inventory, and higher deliveries with SAP S/4HANA Cloud

How Can Breaking Down Siloes Help Teams Work Toward the Shared Goal of Company Growth

SLOVARM, a Slovak energy group making brass and plastic fittings, piping components, and sanitary ware, was held back by an aging ERP system that limited flexibility, made materials planning cumbersome, and left production planning dependent on spreadsheets. The company also needed unified reporting and real-time visibility across financial and logistics processes, while keeping IT demands low. SAP, with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, was chosen to help modernize these operations.

SAP implemented SAP S/4HANA Cloud with Deloitte Advisory s.r.o. as partner, integrating production, order-to-cash, and procure-to-pay processes and replacing spreadsheet-based planning with real-time material requirements planning. The results included a 60% reduction in work-in-progress and final-stock inventory, a 30% increase in client deliveries with the same production capacity, a two-times faster throughput for key production programs, and a planning cycle reduced by more than 80% to five days.
