A sunny future with a new ERP system

Discover in our use case how SMA Solar Technology AG can serve its rapidly growing customer base and support international efforts to combat climate change through PwC's Digital Core program.

ERP systems serve as the central hub of data in operations, enabling companies to optimize business processes and make well-informed decisions based on sound empirical evidence. In a progressively interconnected business world, they are indispensable.

Recognizing this, the executives at SMA Solar Technology AG, a global leader in photovoltaic and inverter system technology, understand the significance of ERP systems. The company actively contributes to climate protection through its innovative solutions for renewable energy utilization. In September 2019, SMA entrusted PwC with an ambitious project to develop a robust and scalable global digital enterprise platform called 'Digital Core.' This platform, based on SAP S/4HANA, addresses the business, organizational, and management challenges associated with the rapid transition to integrated solar energy solutions and sustainable business models.

In the use case, discover how we approached the conceptualization of the project, successfully implemented the new system, and how SMA is now benefiting from it.

PwC's roadmap for the Digital Core program allowed SMA to embark on a complete transformation journey, starting with a primary focus on transitioning to S/4HANA.
