The company has carried out a centrally managed international project with local partners under the United VARs umbrella
Industrias Alegre is a business group with an international presence dedicated to the manufacturing of plastic injection and die-casting parts, in addition to additive manufacturing with Polypropylene (3D printing) and Hybrid Box packaging, a reusable and returnable packaging of its own design. Focused on the automotive, logistics and specialized industry sectors, they have a headquarters in Valencia (Spain) and subsidiaries in Poland, Romania and Mexico.
At a time when global industrial activity, and more convulsively the automobile industry, is going through very difficult times; Industrias Alegre, following its Strategic Plan, continues to transform by betting on new technologies. To achieve this, they have embarked on a global project to transform the company into the Connected Industry. Among other projects, they decided to improve their R/3 ERP to a global SAP S/4HANA implementation from Spain, with international roll outs after the opening of a factory in Poland and, in the near future, to the rest of the subsidiaries.
- Industrias Alegre worked with a very efficient vertical ERP in AS/400, but it had already become obsolete.
- To open their new plant in Poland in 2016, they decided to implement SAP R/3HANA. To do this, they had the support of SEIDOR from Spain and coordination with local partners from each roll out country linked to the United VARs association.
- After completing the project, they decided to implement SAP S/4HANA as the group's standard ERP, carrying out a prior conversion process from R/3 to S/4 to roll out the rest of the offices. The start-up, although it suffered some delay due to the pandemic, was a complete success with hardly any incidents.
- Creation of a roll out system for the deployment of a global ERP.
- Management of single data, accessible to everyone from the same environment quickly, efficiently and reliably.
- Scalable, expandable and extensible sales flows to any company in the group.
- Reduction of time and personnel dedicated to the company's key processes.
- Increase in reports and information available from the areas of production, logistics, warehouse, financial, etc.
- Start-up of the system without relabeling the finished product warehouse.
After evaluating different ERP solutions, the company decided to implement SAP S/4HANA with the help of SEIDOR, who made the deployment a success thanks to their great involvement in the project and the support of United VARs, the global alliance from SAP solution providers, which provided them with a local partner
in Poland.
They selected SAP S/4HANA for the adaptability and development capacity it offers, the power of its foundation
of data and its ease of integration and connection with other industrial, satellite and communications.

"Since its implementation we have seen that this
ERP has great power with a great base
of data that provides a lot
information. Without forgetting its ease for
integration, in addition to being expandable, very
developable, and that adapts to all new
technologies."
