Edgewell
One solution for 12 countries on
4 continents
The challenge
Edgewell's first requirement for its SAP environment was a strategic development plan for growth-oriented accounting and to prepare for "Automation 2.0". This led to the need for a flexible solution that could comply with all country-specific regulations and tax laws. In addition, the central controlling department wanted more transparency for sales figures and turnover, while at the same time reducing accounting costs.
Our services
- Set up a dedicated project team to work closely with Edgewell's SAP experts
- Reviewing and optimizing the existing SAP system to meet current operational requirements
- Deactivating obsolete functions
- Streamlining general processes
- Added new functions to enable further process improvements
Result: Strategy developed and launched
Today, Edgewell has a customized solution for the automation of financial processes (FPA) in Mexico, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Germany, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand and the Czech Republic. It is precisely adapted and configured to meet all country-specific challenges. Moreover, the implementation of the long-term vision of "Automation 2.0" has become a reality, so further implementation steps have already begun.
The successful completion of a project of this scale - from industry expertise and analysis to project management, implementation, and support - underlines avvaneo's expertise and commitment. With avvaneo, we were able to complete this urgent project on time and at a lower cost than expected."

Invoice solution made fit for the future
However, further rollouts and necessary changes had an increasing impact on the efficiency of the solution.
Case Study Burda Digital Systems
Assigns invoices automatically
In the past, invoices were validated using a manual scanner. Invoice capture, checking, and further processing were too time-consuming, cost-intensive, and slow.
Case Study Thales
Transparency throughout the entire purchase-to-pay process
Thales already had a digital solution for the accounts payable department. The greatest potential for efficiency lies in automating the entire purchase-to-pay (P2P) process and significantly increasing the degree of automation of all sub-processes.
Case Study Südzucker
Significantly increased operating efficiency
Subsequent changes, optimizations, and temporary corrections impaired operational efficiency.
Case Study DACHSER
Working together for 13 years
In the past, DACHSER suffered from the lack of a company-wide purchasing organization with structured processes. Orders (internal and external) were received manually via forms or telephone and entered into the system.

Automation successful
