StepLock Story:
In late summer 2022, StepLock faced a challenge that many growing companies recognize – their ERP system had become a bottleneck for continued expansion. To grow further, they needed a robust, flexible, and sustainable ERP system with global availability that could easily scale with the business. The solution was SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud. Together with Implema, they carried out an impressive implementation in just 12 weeks, both in Sweden and Norway. Here, StepLock shares their journey and the benefits of switching to a cloud-based ERP system.
