The foundation was laid by a broad-based tender process in which eight partners presented their expertise. After a thorough review, a shortlist of three providers was created, with whom TIB Chemicals held intensive discussions. The focus was not only on technical competence, but also on interpersonal fit: Do the teams share the same values, working methods, and chemistry?
The chemistry was right: NTT DATA Business Solutions impressed in all respects – with competence, pragmatism, and a team that was a perfect fit for TIB Chemicals, both personally and professionally. These aspects were decisive for the medium-sized chemical company, because a project of this magnitude can only work with a partner who operates on an equal footing.
Why SAP Cloud ERP?
The SAP Cloud ERP (public Cloud ERP) was deliberately chosen because it offers exactly what TIB Chemicals was looking for:
- Standardized processes that are proven and efficient
- Regular updates that automatically take new legal requirements into account
- Future-proofing through a scalable and adaptable platform
- Ready-made training courses and best practices for rapid implementation
Especially with regard to compliance and reporting obligations as well as the complex requirements of the chemical industry (e.g., REACH, CLP, GHS), SAP Cloud ERP creates ideal conditions for digitally mapping legal regulations, where today, much data is still laboriously collected manually.
GTS – Intelligent control of global processes
Another core element of TIB Chemicals’ strategy is the integration of SAP Global Trade Services (GTS). This bundles central modules for compliance, customs, preferences, and Intrastat in a single system. This allows international trade processes to be controlled securely, efficiently, and automatically – an important success factor for the chemical company’s growing global business.
