DKSH has completed the migration of SAP S/4HANA, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. Enhancing automation, innovation, and future-readiness, the implementation of this solution is in line with DKSH’s digital transformation ambitions.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, May 10, 2023 – In close collaboration with SAP, DKSH has gone live with SAP S/4HANA to automate processes, boost innovation, and transform the technology infrastructure, supporting the Group’s digital future-readiness.

The implementation, which completes a two-year upgrade process will support DKSH’s digital transformation and vision to be the trusted partner for companies looking to grow their business in Asia and beyond across four specialized Business Units: Healthcare, Consumer Goods, Performance Materials, and Technology.

The SAP S/4HANA implementation was completed by SAP Cloud Success Services based on its core knowledge, tools, and experience with the solution as well as with DKSH as long-term business partner.
