Case study
A Cloud-First, AI-Ready ERP for a Green Manufacturer
A young, fast-growing manufacturer started on SAP Public Cloud from day one, with BTP extensions and AI built into the way it works.
Overview: starting right, on the cloud
This case study shows how TechCarvings implemented SAP Public Cloud with AI for a green manufacturing and industrial supply-chain company. The business is growing quickly and wants every material, cost and order to be traceable, from supplier to customer.
Rather than outgrow a small accounting system first, the company chose to start on SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, with SAP BTP for anything the standard does not cover and SAP Business AI to help people work faster.
Operational challenges
Growth was outpacing the tools the business started with.
- 1
Spreadsheets everywhere. Purchasing, stock and costing were tracked in separate files.
- 2
Traceability gaps. It was hard to follow materials and costs across the supply chain.
- 3
Manual finance work. Month-end and compliance reporting took too much effort.
- 4
Scaling risk. New sites, products and customers meant more manual workarounds.
- 5
Wanting AI, not ready for it. Without clean, connected data, AI could not add real value.

How we delivered
TechCarvings used SAP Activate. Fit-to-standard workshops in the live cloud system let the team agree processes quickly, with a short list of justified extensions.
Master data was set up cleanly from the start, which also prepared the data for AI. Users were trained by role, and hypercare after go-live helped the team settle into the new way of working.
Business impact
The company now runs on an ERP that can grow with it.
Purchasing, stock, production, sales and finance in one cloud ERP.
Materials and costs connected from supplier to customer.
New sites and products follow the same standard processes.
Clean data means AI capabilities add value immediately.
What’s next
With SAP Public Cloud with AI in place, the company can add new AI use cases and BTP apps as it grows, while SAP’s quarterly releases keep the core current.
