Case Study: Schaeffler Group achieves greater agility, efficiency, and collaboration with SAP Returnable Packaging Management

Schaeffler Group Aiding Agility, Efficiency, and Collaboration with Unified Container Management

Schaeffler Group, a global motion and mobility innovator, needed a better way to manage returnable containers across a fragmented application landscape. Its manual, hard-to-track processes made it difficult to maintain transparency, reduce maintenance effort, and respond quickly to changing packaging and logistics needs. SAP and its SAP Returnable Packaging Management solution were brought in to address these challenges.

SAP implemented SAP Returnable Packaging Management to unify end-to-end container management across suppliers, customers, and internal movements in one cloud solution. The result was improved transparency, more efficient maintenance and support, reduced manual effort through automatic account reconciliation, and better collaboration and self-service capabilities that helped lower workload, save time and costs, and reduce delivery failures from packaging shortages.
