Read MoreHide Full Article

SAP SE (SAP - Free Report) recently announced that Nippon Gases Europe deployed its latest Rise with SAP solution to overhaul its enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems across its European operations.

Nippon Gases Europe is working toward setting up a unified ERP system based on SAP’s S/4HANA solution.

SAP’s S/4HANA is an extensive ERP solution embedded with the latest technologies like machine learning, AI and advanced analytics, which enables businesses to upgrade operations. SAP considers Rise with SAP as an important catalyst for fueling the adoption of the company’s S/4HANA Cloud and Business Technology Platform.

ERP systems powered by S/4HANA will aid Nippon Gases to gain an improved overview of gas deliveries and help in adherence to compliance requirements. Rise with SAP solution will provide Nippon Gases with various software components, noted SAP.

In the past, Nippon Gases worked with multiple ERP solutions which needed much maintenance, and servicing and constant updates to ensure seamless data exchange data between divisions. Since the system administration team will work with only one unified ERP system, it will reduce costs and time taken for executing administrative tasks for Nippon Gases, going ahead, added SAP.

Nippon Gases’ first unified ERP site went live in the U.K. in 2021. The company plans to set up more sites in other countries beginning from 2022.
