01THE CHALLENGE
A global eye care leader had outgrown the systems that built it.
The company had become a global leader in orthokeratology contact lenses by building a business that combines precision manufacturing, complex distribution, and highly regulated healthcare product delivery. Its technology infrastructure had grown alongside it, but not always in the same direction.
Operations across manufacturing sites, distribution centers, and regional offices were running on disconnected systems with different data models. Supply chain visibility was limited. Demand planning was reactive. The operational complexity required to manage a global product portfolio was creating costs and delays that weren't sustainable at the company's current scale.
SAP had been in the environment for years, but the implementation was partial and fragmented. M&S Consulting was engaged to do what the original rollout hadn't: a complete ERP modernization that unified the global supply chain from manufacturing to distribution.
02THE SOLUTION
A full SAP ERP overhaul, designed for global operations from the ground up.
M&S Consulting led the modernization of the company's SAP environment, extending coverage to include manufacturing execution, inventory management, global distribution, and financial consolidation. The implementation was designed to work across time zones, currencies, and regulatory environments, the operational reality of a global healthcare products company.
Supply chain integration connected manufacturing output data to demand signals, giving planning teams real-time visibility into inventory positions and production capacity across all sites. The result was a supply chain that could respond to market changes, not just track them after the fact.
End-to-end SAP coverage
Manufacturing, distribution, inventory, and financial consolidation all brought into a unified SAP environment.
Global data model
Multi-currency, multi-language, multi-regulatory environment supported in a single SAP instance.
Supply chain integration
Real-time connection between manufacturing output and demand signals, planning became proactive, not reactive.
03THE RESULTS
A unified global supply chain. Operations positioned for the next phase of growth.
The SAP modernization delivered the operational foundation the company needed to manage its global product portfolio efficiently. Supply chain visibility improved dramatically, planners had real-time data from manufacturing to distribution for the first time.
The unified platform also positioned the organization to scale: new markets, new product lines, and new manufacturing sites could be brought into the SAP environment without the complexity of the previous fragmented architecture.
