SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management

Global rollout at DRÄXLMAIER

About synapsis

Digital transformation also presents major challenges for the DRÄXLMAIER Group, especially because the company is continuously growing, with more product variants and new segments being added.

SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management is the ERP solution for a modern process and system architecture and forms the foundation for digitalization at DRÄXLMAIER. With the rollout of SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management, the company is optimally positioning itself to meet market challenges. The synapsis program aims to design and roll out a unified SAP solution for the DRÄXLMAIER Group—across functions, regions, segments, and products. The transition particularly affects processes in the areas of logistics, quality, procurement, and finance. 

Process complexity is increasing. All these developments must be kept in step with in the context of digitalization.

That’s why the company-wide synapsis program was launched. In line with the program motto “connection creates intelligence”, the company has opted for a SAP-based system solution.
The shared goal: an integrated process and system landscape for all DRÄXLMAIER locations worldwide.

By choosing the latest SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management technology, DRÄXLMAIER is not only ensuring the future viability of its IT architecture, but also creating the central prerequisite for the company’s digital orientation.

Program Update

SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management is the central ERP solution for a modern process and system architecture at DRÄXLMAIER and forms the foundation for digital transformation. Through the company-wide synapsis program, a unified SAP-based system landscape is being created—across functions, regions, and products.

The areas most affected by the transition are logistics, quality, procurement, and finance. The goal is to manage increasing process complexity and drive digitalization across the entire group.

Implementation is taking place step by step: Initial rollouts in Braunau, Leipzig, Landau, Timisoara, and Hunedoara have already been successfully completed. Satu Mare will follow by the end of 2025. Global implementation will continue over the coming years—with location-specific adaptations.

We will continue to keep you updated on the progress.

The approach in the program

The foundation for synapsis is the so-called DRÄXLMAIER Global Template, which standardizes synapsis-relevant processes, roles, authorizations, SAP developments, as well as master and transaction data in a user-friendly way.

The DRÄXLMAIER Global Template is being rolled out worldwide at all locations.

The top priority is to ensure business continuity at all levels. In the spirit of a trustworthy partnership, our company is preparing customers and suppliers for the transition in a timely manner.

Currently, the rollout schedule is being revised. As soon as the timeline is finalized, you will receive further information here about the timing of synapsis.
