Case Study: Pilz achieves a future-ready cloud ERP transformation with SAP RISE, SAP S/4HANA Cloud, and SAP Services and Support

How Pilz worked together with SAP Services and Support as a winning team to finalize the details of the company's transformation plan successfully

Pilz, a German leader in safety automation systems with more than 40 subsidiaries worldwide, needed to transform its ERP landscape and move to the cloud. The company wanted to harmonize and standardize global business processes, improve transparency and data reliability, and reduce custom code while preparing for future digital and IoT-driven growth. Pilz worked with SAP Services and Support and RISE with SAP, using SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition as the core ERP environment.

SAP helped Pilz define a groupwide transformation plan, including the target architecture, prerequisites, third-party solution evaluation, and change management approach. The result was a clear roadmap for an on-premise-to-cloud ERP transition and implementation of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, with expected gains in business-process efficiency, better integration, and lower custom-code complexity across 40 global locations.
