Case Study: Junghans achieves a future-proof digital IT foundation with SAP Business Technology Platform and SAP Business ByDesign

Junghans Digitalizing a Traditional Company While Focusing on the Workforce

Junghans, the traditional watchmaker Uhrenfabrik Junghans GmbH & Co. KG, needed a future-proof digital platform to replace an outdated ERP landscape, reduce system failures, and standardize IT and employee experiences. The company’s paper-heavy warehouse processes and manual serial-number tracking also created errors and inefficiencies, prompting Junghans to turn to SAP and SAP Business Technology Platform, alongside SAP Business ByDesign.

SAP implemented a cloud-based foundation that connected business processes end to end, including digital pick processes and scan-based serial-number capture in the warehouse. As a result, Junghans gained real-time inventory visibility, fewer errors, faster maintenance, and reduced paper use, while also increasing user acceptance and achieving measurable gains such as 100% process consistency across system boundaries and a 20% productivity increase.
