Publicly documented implementation example - Kiara Health, a pharmaceutical manufacturing company

A prominent reference is Kiara Health, a pharmaceutical manufacturing company. Kiara Health migrated from SAP ECC and implemented a greenfield SAP S/4HANA environment in approximately four months. The solution supported processes from product ordering through production, packaging, and distribution.

This example is particularly relevant for manufacturers because it demonstrates Westrocon’s experience with:

Manufacturing operations.
End-to-end supply-chain processes.
Pharmaceutical production and packaging.
Greenfield S/4HANA implementation.
Rapid migration and deployment.
Integration of commercial, production, inventory, and distribution activities.
