YASH Enhanced Enterprise Productivity and Insight with ERP
Solutions
After coordinating with the client to deliver a successful and well-documented
blueprint of the implementation, YASH successfully migrated the company's Finance,
Sales and Distribution, and Procurement and Inventory Management from an
inefficient legacy system onto a unified SAP ERP landscape that supported end-users in
the US, Canada, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Jamaica and Spain.
Financials
This comprehensive and integrated financial management solution empowered the
client's finance department to transform its role into that of a strategic business
partner. It simultaneously supported multiple global financial reporting standards,
currencies, and languages with over 45 country-specific versions. In addition, it
extended finance processes to encompass customers, suppliers, and financial
institutions to optimize their financial value chain.
Core financial functions implemented included General Ledger, Accounts Receivable
and Payable, Fixed Assets, and Enterprise Consolidation. Embedded internal controls,
robust workflow, and automated processes reduced financial closing cycles and
resource costs to enable them to thrive in a business environment characterized by
intensified competition and uncertain market conditions.

Procurement and Inventory Management
YASH delivered a formal system that automated and streamlined procurement
processes to identify, realize, and sustain cost savings for all spend categories. By
implementing procurement capabilities, the client could perform the complete
procure-to-pay process, including requisitioning, purchase-order management and
invoice clarification. In addition, they could manage catalog content and enable
employee self-service procurement of material, while collaborating efficiently with
suppliers. With inventory management, they could record and track the quantity and
value of all materials, integrate with Finance for inventory value calculation and
enhance visibility to stock locations at all plants.
In addition to this initiative, the company also wanted to experiment with some new
code during the implementation, but did not want to risk destabilizing any of their SAP
test environments. Because YASH believes in a customer centric approach for clients,
YASH supplied a demo system the next day to successfully test the code, allowing the
project to progress without disruption to deadlines.
