Reach Surgical SAP S/4HANA Implementation for Medical Equipment Supply Chain
Case study of Reach Surgical's SAP S/4HANA deployment across 15 business units, achieving integrated order-to-cash, costing, and supplier management processes.
Reach Surgical, a China-based manufacturer of surgical staplers and minimally invasive devices, implemented SAP S/4HANA as the first company in Asia to run the latest version across all lines of business. The six-month project standardized 72 end-to-end processes, integrated 15 business units, and delivered real-time visibility into supplier performance and inventory. Results included processing 4 million sales orders in the first 48 hours post go-live, reducing the financial close cycle by five days, and enabling supplier segmentation and spend analysis without manual data extraction.
