SAP Business Suite includes a set of integrated business applications covering various modules such as SAP ERP, SAP CRM, SAP SCM, and SAP Ariba. For companies in the manufacturing industry, these modules play a major role in operations and management processes.
A business giant from the car manufacturing sector encountered challenges with fragmented and inefficient Business Suite Implementation. These issues resulted in errors, compliance risks, and the disassociation of data points across the organization, greatly hampering the organization's operational efficiency.
The Challenges of a Car Manufacturer
The car manufacturer was burdened with managing data within their ERP system and handling supplier details for their Supply chain Management process flows. The lack of efficient integration between the different modules affected the accuracy of the stocks and raw materials available in the system. However, with the right tools and strategies, this burden was not just alleviated but transformed into a sense of control and empowerment, inspiring a new way of managing operations and instilling a sense of hope and optimism in the organization.
Struggling with a system that was supposed to enable seamless data replication and ensure compliance, the car manufacturer was in need of a solution. The leaky integrations and lack of proper testing tools led to a semi-cooked implementation project. However, introducing Tricentis Tosca and engaging with CirrusLabs brought a sense of relief, making the system more user-friendly and efficient, and providing the comfort of a well-tested solution.
Acing SAP Testing with Automation
CirrusLabs empowered the car manufacturer by engaging to optimize and enhance the efficiency of the SAP Business Suite already implemented in the system. Tricentis Tosca, an SAP-certified automation solution, was introduced, allowing model-based test automation. This tool, with its end-to-end SAP testing process that integrates with the SAP solution manager, not only optimized the system but also put the power back in the hands of the organization, empowering them to take control of their operations. Beyond optimization, testing and bug fixes were also carried out to ensure the application's efficiency improvement using script-less automation and business-readable test cases.
After these fixes, the integrations were all connected to allow seamless data flow between the different modules of the ecosystem. Our solution provided real-time data access, empowering better decision-making and strategic planning capabilities to stakeholders. And finally, an issue free system to manage daily activities was a pleasant experience for the end-users.
