Apple Chemie SAP Implementation

Driving Manufacturing Efficiency and Finance Control: Apple Chemie Implements SAP with BSC Global

Client Profile: Apple Chemie

Apple Chemie India Pvt. Ltd. is a renowned manufacturer of construction chemicals, industrial coatings, waterproofing solutions, and epoxy-based materials. With a growing product portfolio and operations spanning production, procurement, quality control, and a widespread sales network, Apple Chemie needed a scalable ERP system to unify its processes and support its expansion.

Facing challenges in managing multiple departments with disconnected systems and manual workflows, Apple Chemie partnered with BSC Global to implement SAP ERP. The goal: bring end-to-end visibility, improve process control, and ensure real-time decision-making across the enterprise.


Project Scope: SAP ERP Implementation

Modules Implemented:

  • SD (Sales and Distribution)
  • MM (Materials Management)
  • PP (Production Planning)
  • QM (Quality Management)
  • FI (Financial Accounting)
  • CO (Controlling)

Challenges Faced

  1. Siloed Operations Across Departments
    • No centralized system to integrate sales, procurement, production, finance, and quality—leading to data inconsistencies.
  2. Manual Inventory & Production Tracking
    • Lack of real-time stock visibility and production planning caused overstocking, delays, and missed delivery schedules.
  3. Delayed Financial Consolidation
    • Manual accounting entries and scattered data sources slowed down monthly closures and compliance processes.
  4. Limited Quality Monitoring
    • Quality checks and test results were paper-based, limiting traceability and increasing the risk of product non-compliance.
  5. Scalability Concerns
    • Existing tools were not designed to support multi-location growth and future expansion plans.
