SAP Business All in One Implementation for Geith International, Ireland
Client Overview
Geith International is the Ireland subsidiary of Doosan – a leading global manufacturer of construction machinery and equipment, headquartered in Korea.
Geith is involved in manufacture of equipment for excavation Buckets, Pallet Forks, Ripper thumbs and spare parts) As of 2011, Geith IT systems did not
meet the Business expectations. They were deficient in determining exact costs, inventory control, track through production etc. Geith therefore embarked
on a journey of bringing its IT enterprise applications to a common platform through the implementation of SAPBAIO.
Business Challenges
The complex Business requirements and existing Legacy platforms posed challenges for Geith. Given
the size of business, the cots had to be kept under strict control so as to justify the business case and
extract the expected returns. Moreover, the implementation timelines were to be kept at a minimum,
so as to avoid business disruption.
Key challenges were the fast track implementation of core SAP modules comprising of PP, MM, FI, CO
and SD. The implementation also included complex solutions around Variant configuration and COPA
