Case Study: Zespri Kiwifruit achieves trusted S/4 HANA data and faster supplier onboarding with Syniti

Data management & data governance transform Zespri's global S/4 HANA processes

Zespri Kiwifruit, the global marketer and distributor of kiwifruit, faced low confidence in its master data as it moved to SAP S/4 HANA—relying on legacy systems and manual spreadsheets that slowed decision-making and strained governance. To kick off its Horizon Programme and establish a trusted data platform, Zespri selected Syniti and deployed Syniti Data Replication and the Syniti Knowledge Platform to improve data management across finance and supply chain.

Syniti implemented Data Replication to reconcile and scaffold ECC-to‑S/4 HANA migration data and deployed the Syniti Knowledge Platform for business-friendly dashboards, validation rules, and automated workflows (including a Supplier Onboarding Form). Syniti’s solution provided a real-time, holistic view of objects, revealed hundreds of migration gaps early for quick resolution, opened access to quality master data across teams, accelerated supplier onboarding by replacing paper processes, and delivered significant operational efficiencies and better decision-making.
