More insight into customer demands

Royal Herkel produces nutritional supplements, medical aids and pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. To gain more insight into future demands and in order to become more flexible, Royal Herkel implemented SAP S/4HANA in 2019. “Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the demand for the various products we produce has exploded,” says Wietze Dijksma, Business Improvement Manager & Supply Chain Planning Lead at Herkel. “The demand for vitamin C and vitamin D products and zinc tablets has increased significantly. It fits with the broader trend of a rising demand for products that promote a healthy lifestyle.” As a result, the company saw the turnover of their products grow by more than twenty percent in 2020.

A validated system you can rely on

The implementation of SAP S/4HANA guarantees that orders are produced and delivered at the right time, even when demand fluctuates.

Implementing the entire ERP SAP scope

NTT DATA Business Solutions was able to take care of the implementation of the new integrated SAP S/4HANA system with a validated approach and proven best practices.
