ERASTEEL’S NEEDS. Erasteel Kloster strengthens core operations with SAP. Erasteel Kloster has large factories in Sweden with many interfaces to external systems. The most complex aspect was the production processes and integration with the production system. Replacing the custom-developed systems represented a major challenge for the project team. They needed to implement a modern business system from SAP across three factories divided into five different go-lives over five months.
We are very satisfied with the result as we delivered what we promised while staying on schedule and within budget.

IMPLEMA’S SOLUTION. Erasteel Kloster chose the SAP Business All-in-One Implema Industry Provider solution. The meticulous initial mapping of production processes laid the foundation for an efficient rollout across three geographically dispersed units. The strategy of starting SAP implementation closest to the customer and working backward through the production chain was successful, and the project stayed on schedule and within budget.
THE RESULT. By transitioning to SAP and avoiding company-specific solutions, Erasteel Kloster was able to maintain both the timeline and keep costs down. At the same time, they chose to adapt their workflows to the standard processes in SAP and thereby strengthen their focus on what matters most to Erasteel Kloster – being the world’s best at producing high-speed steel.
