SAP solutions for healthcare and medical technology.

Regulated markets, processes subject to documentation requirements and product ranges rich in variants place particular demands on medical and healthcare technology. BDF EXPERTS shapes SAP processes into a form that holds up functionally, technically and from a regulatory standpoint.

Focus of this industry: Both pillars equally important, Digital Supply Chain and Corporate Finance & Treasury

▌ INDUSTRY CHALLENGES

What makes healthcare and medical technology challenging in SAP.

Four key aspects that we address with our customers in this industry.

Regulatory compliance

MDR, FDA requirements and industry-specific standards call for audit-proof processes and complete traceability.

Variant-rich products

Devices and consumables are produced in numerous configurations. Master and product data must be cleanly structured.

Master data governance

Consistent master data is the basis for reliable processes, from development through manufacturing to reporting.

Global supply chains

Production and distribution sites across markets require end-to-end supply chain and finance processes.

▌ OUR ANSWER

Our answer: both pillars equally decisive.

Healthcare and medical technology is the industry in which we most often combine Digital Supply Chain and Corporate Finance & Treasury in equal measure. Product structure, master data governance and global financial management interlock, and we deliver both from a single source.

▌ DIGITAL SUPPLY CHAIN: PRODUCT STRUCTURE AND MASTER DATA

With SAP PPG, we structure product data, documents and processes so that even variant-rich medical products are reliably represented in SAP. End-to-end governance is the basis for regulatory traceability and efficient operation.

  • SAP PPG: master data governance and product data structuring
  • Digital Supply Chain consulting: global supply chains and compliance processes

▌ CORPORATE FINANCE & TREASURY: GROUP-WIDE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

We bring our expertise in Corporate Finance & Treasury to bear in order to integrate global group structures, consolidation and liquidity management cleanly into SAP S/4HANA, including the reporting requirements of regulated markets.

  • Liquidity Planning Cockpit: group-wide liquidity planning in SAP
  • Cash Position Cockpit: cash management across international entities
  • Corporate Finance & Treasury consulting: finance consulting for regulated industries
