Shortfacts - October 2021


S/4 Hana introduced
With q.beyond as its implementation partner, Tchibo has converted its SAP retail system to S/4 Hana. Tchibo opted for the next ERP generation at an early stage and now operates one of the largest industry solutions in Europe with S/4 Retail for Merchandise Management.
q.beyond developed a project approach for Tchibo that made it possible to convert the entire legacy system into the S/4 system over an extended weekend. As all of the group's European subsidiaries are supplied with goods centrally, a multi-stage go-live was ruled out.
Over the course of the 18-month project, all productively used sales, purchasing and materials management processes were converted to S/4 and the new general ledger was introduced. In addition, q.beyond integrated 30 SAP and non-SAP systems with S/4. The project went live over Ascension Day and was completely on schedule.
