Case Study: Wallstabe & Schneider achieves rapid global growth through standardized processes with SAP Signavio

Global growth through standardized processes

Wallstabe & Schneider is a family‑owned German manufacturer of high‑quality elastomer seals with about 1,100 employees, five production sites across three continents, and global automotive and industrial customers. As the company expanded internationally and rolled out SAP S/4HANA, it faced fragmented, site‑specific processes, poor cross‑site visibility, and the need to standardize procedures to accelerate new locations and improve product development efficiency.

By implementing the SAP Signavio suite integrated with SAP S/4HANA, Wallstabe & Schneider created a central, software‑based process model and governance framework that reduced manual effort, ensured compliance, and secured full stakeholder buy‑in. The standardized processes enabled rapid global rollouts (including a new China site), provided a foundation for data‑driven process mining and product‑lifecycle optimization, and drove operational excellence and faster time to market.
