Norm Holding, the leading manufacturer, and seller of the fasteners market in Turkey operates with nine manufacturing sites and five marketing companies, continuing to serve its customers with high-value products.

IT Infrastructure Simplified

Norm Holding, which operates across a range of industries and fields from furniture to construction and machinery, and in particular automotive and white goods for 44 years, chose NTT DATA Business Solutions Turkey as its partner in the digital transformation process. As a result of the project that aimed to simplify the IT infrastructure with end-to-end SAP solutions, the business processes and manufacturing facilities of all group companies are now managed from a single center. The latest solutions such as SAP S/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors, and SAP Sales Cloud and Commerce Cloud were implemented as part of the digital transformation process, simplifying financial, HR and sales processes and achieving significant improvement in productivity.

Digital Transformation Program

As part of our digital transformation project, we launched Turkey’s first IBP project. This enabled Norm Holding to build an integrated management and monitoring platform with its seamless supply chain management approach across the group’s production and sales companies located in Salihli and Izmir (Turkey), Germany and France.

With this platform, planning and financial management, as well as traditional sales and operations processes are now controlled from a single center.

As a result of our digital transformation project that went live in only a year, an effective decision-making mechanism was established with real-time reporting and analysis capabilities in Norm Holding and Norm Cıvata.Data flow was achieved through a centralized system for storage and supply management processes. The it.mds & PLM integration enabled automation of the entire process starting from the product design stage. The main data generation process was designed to match the structure of Norm Holding and creation time for multiple products was reduced to 4-10 seconds.

Human Factor in Digitalization

Kamil Başaran, CEO, Norm Holding, said, “As a global player that manufactures and sells original equipment, we highly value the importance of this project that we implemented in partnership with NTT DATA Business Solutions Turkey, which accompanies us on our digital transformation journey. We adopted a seamless supply chain management approach and built the integrated platform, which we aimed for our manufacturing and sales companies in Salihli and Izmir (Turkey), Germany and France, with SAP IBP. Our employees, the internal customers that we care about as much as our external customers, also used the digital human resources platform SuccessFactors as part of this integrated system and adopted the essential changes in the way we operate. We included both the office employees and also our operator colleagues in the process.

We simply could not ignore the ‘human’ factor, the most important element in the institutionalization and organizational restructuring process, during digital transformation. Now, 2,000+ employees experience Performance Management, Training and Recruitment processes in digital and cloud environment.”
