(MAY 2010) INITIATED BY SAP in Walldorf, Germany, Transvision and the large SAP partner IDS Scheer have set up a comprehensive SAP-integrated all-in-one solution for the ready-mix concrete industry.
Transvision’s sales director, Thorbjørn Schmidt-Jacobsen explains, “SAP, IDS Scheer and Transvision have found that many ready-mix companies have a strong need for an operational distribution planning system that is integrated with the SAP ERP system.
“SAP and IDS Scheer have chosen Transvision as their partner in creating an integrated industry-specific solution for the ready-mix concrete industry. Transvision was preferred because of the company’s capacity for making successful integrations with SAP and its ability to deliver state-of-the-art planning systems capable of meeting the high complexity within ready-mix distribution.”
Thorbjørn Schmidt-Jacobsen continues, “Together with IDS Scheer, we have launched a fully integrated solution based on SAP’s DynPro and XI/PI technology. The purpose of this is to integrate order taking, batching, distribution and follow-up into one solution. By implementing this solution, the ready-mix concrete industry will be able to reduce the number of necessary IT systems, improve overall efficiency and thus reduce operational costs considerably.”
IDS Scheer, which is part of the Software AG Group, is a strong and global SAP partner and a leading supplier of Business Process Management solutions. Thorbjørn Schmidt-Jacobsen concludes, “Due to their strong competencies within business process optimisation and deep knowledge of SAP software, IDS Scheer has been an excellent partner to work with on this project, and we are very pleased with the results of our efforts.”
With the integrated SAP ECC and Transvision Concrete Planner solution, ready-mix concrete companies will enjoy numerous benefits, such as the following:
- Introduction of best practices across the organisation
- Optimised and integrated business processes
- Integrated distribution and production planning
- Improved utilisation of vehicles and plants
- Single maintenance of master data
- Single creation of documents
- Reduced number of needed IT systems
