prosustain - Success Story (German)
SAP BUSINESS PARTNER INTRODUCTION
A preliminary project for SAP S/4HANA migration with services from SPIRIT/21 and conarum
As part of a comprehensive business transformation, the Heinrich Schmid Group, a specialist trades and painting company operating throughout Europe, is facing the challenge of migrating from SAP ERP Central Component (ECC) to SAP S/4HANA.
“Thanks to the support of SPIRIT/21 and conarum, we are well positioned for the migration to S/4HANA and are looking forward to the next steps together.”

Syntegon was faced with a significant challenge: the existing supplier replication no longer met the increasing demands on supplier management. A core requirement was the development of a new master data distribution concept that not only distinguishes global governance from local data, but also enables harmonized distribution that can be controlled in a targeted manner.

proconarum was integrated into the company’s S/4 HANA system and enables STABILO to automate supplier queries and manage declarations of conformity for their externally sourced materials.
The solution supports various types of inquiries such as supplier product or quality inquiries or declarations of
conformity. Supplier responses are recorded in the platform by the supplier and made available for further processing.
Suppliers can also upload additional PDF documents, which can then be processed in the subsequent process.
Brose implements the SAP-certified proconarum solution, developed by conarum on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), to streamline its inbound logistics processes.
Contract management based on SAP UI5 and SAP DMS integration
“To improve the management of contracts and the monitoring of deadlines and to achieve a high level of integration into the SAP document flow, we introduced an integrated contract management system – with the support of conarum – based on SAP and SAP document management. In addition, we implemented a user-friendly UI5 application for end users to facilitate contract maintenance. The application was quickly adopted and led to a significant improvement in efficiency, integration and accuracy in the management of contracts. Kubus IT can now save time and money and better serve its customers.”
