Market-leading glass mould manufacturer OMCO has implemented a SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution that has delivered major operational and financial benefits while enabling essential digital transformation
As a complex, fast-growing global business, world-leading glass mould manufacturer OMCO now has a SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution that has delivered major operational and financial benefits. This story is about more than selecting and implementing a new IT system; it’s about a vital journey of digital transformation.
Throughout, Atos has supported OMCO, successfully overcoming the complexities of roll-out across seven countries and positioning the company to embrace Industry 4.0 technologies that will transform manufacturing. Success is thanks to the vision and passion of OMCO, supported and guided by the expertise and dedication of Atos.
The challenge
OMCO had expanded rapidly and, with complex multi-national supply chains, OMCO needed a state-of-the-art Group-wide ERP system to:
- Achieve consistency across all operations, while meeting local needs
- Accelerate and integrate information flows
- Drive up performance and efficiency, with automation wherever possible
- Support centralization, integration and growth.
As well as finding the best ERP solution, widescale digital transformation was needed to modernize OMCO’s infrastructure, maintain operational excellence and future-proof the business.
The solution
Throughout a rigorous selection process, OMCO undertook detailed requirements and cost-benefit analysis, testing not only the system, but also each supplier’s agility, consulting and delivery capabilities and commercial framework. Atos, with its local partner, was selected thanks to a uniquely integrated and flexible SAP ERP solution (covering finance, production, sales, procurement), plus proven ability to manage the roll-out. Atos met all OMCO’s needs through standard and bespoke functionality and re-engineered processes.
Business benefit
SAP ERP is the backbone of OMCO:
- With just one rapid data-flow, OMCO can better control its processes
- With automation, operational performance is better and faster
- Comprehensive, detailed data generates new insights
- With common financial reporting, there is just one set of accounts across all countries – and with automated data entry and financial reporting, OMCO can focus on financial forecasting and predictive decision-making.
OMCO is future-proofed for emerging technologies.
