In January 2017, the General Manager of Yes Chemist Pty Ltd leaded a business operational review of the organization, with the aim of discussing the operational weaknesses of the organization and the strategies that can be taken to overcome the same. The review recommendations made by the participants indicated that in order to outgrow the issues and weaknesses that currently exist within the prevailing operational system of the organization, the replacement of the current HR, accounting and inventory management systems is essential.

It is due to this very reason, that decisions have been made in favour of the development of SAP S/4HANA for SAP Business All-in-One system.

Enhanced management features resulting from integration of HR, accounting and inventory management systems
Enhanced data analytics and reporting process
Streamlining of organizational processes

Significant expenses
Reduced productivity during system development and implementation phase
