In the synapsis group program, numerous experts from the various company divisions work on a smooth roll-out. They can draw on experience from comparable SAP introduction processes in other organizations. Sufficient personnel and technical resources are provided for the roll-out.

So far, SAP S/4HANA has been successfully introduced at the following DRÄXLMAIER locations: at the pilot location in Braunau (Austria), at the battery plant in Leipzig (Germany), Landau as well at the Romanian locations in Timisoara and Hunedoara.

The aim of the synapsis program is to create a worldwide integrated process and system landscape for the DRÄXLMAIER Group. The new solution aims to keep pace with future company development and lend support in harnessing the broad array of potential borne by ongoing digitization.

The introduction of SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management will particularly entail the optimization of processes in the Logistics, Quality, Purchasing and Finance divisions.

The new system landscape based on SAP S/4HANA was gradually introduced at our Romanian locations in Timisoara and Hunedoara:

1. The AMG Battery & S-Box product lines in Timisoara and the processes involved (finance and non-series logistics) in Hunedoara went live in October 2021 in the new SAP S/4HANA system landscape.

3. On May 1st, 2023, the Romanian site in Hunedoara was completely and successfully converted to the new system landscape S/4HANA. All suppliers affected by these go-live dates have been informed of all changes in advance.
