Food and consumer goods distribution group, Metcash, has contracted SAP and Fijitsu to deploy a new financial software platform in its Australian business to improve efficiencies and compliance with financial, corporate risk and environmental regulations.
SAP Australia and New Zealand and Fujitsu
Australia pushed out Oracle and its PeopleSpoft software to win the
contract to implement SAP ERP financials over an initial 12-month
period with latter phase functionality planned. Fujitsu, a SAP gold
partner, will provide system integration.
Metcash Australia general manager – finance, Adrian Gratwicke, said
today Metcash will commence a SAP core finance replacement project,
investing in SAP finance, treasury & risk management, property
management and compliance related software.
Gratwicke said Metcash had been operating on Oracle’s PeopleSoft
software for the last 8 years, and the company’s decision to go with
SAP and Fujitsu was based on the breadth of SAP’s integrated platform
and Fujitsu’s understanding of its business needs.
“SAP will enable Metcash to bring together previously disparate third
party products like fixed assets, real estate and claim-backs into an
integrated, controlled environment, increasing visibility and financial
and operational efficiencies.”
As part of its RFP process, Gratwicke said Metcash selected Fujitsu as
systems integrator by “demonstrating a thorough understanding of the
business requirements and in-depth SAP practice capability, further
enhanced by the recent acquisition of Supply Chain Consulting.”
Gratwicke said Fujitsu will providE up to 20 SAP consultants located on
site, focusing on ensuring that the new integrated financial systems
exceeds the business expectations and value to Metcash.
