Treviso, July 28, 2023. VP Solar implemented the new SAP S/4HANA Cloud, in order to improve its digital platform to serve the customers, accelerating its digitalization. Our long experience since 1999 in the B2B distribution of renewable energy systems enabled the restructuring activities for a new lean and effective organization, following the market needs in costant evolution.
“We made another significant step towards enhancing our operations through a digital platform oriented to improve the services that we deliver to our customers” declares Stefano Loro, CEO and founder of VP Solar.
Over the years, VP Solar has demonstrated a remarkable ability to continuously evolve and adapt to meet the ever-changing needs of its customers and the dynamic industry it operates in. In 2008, VP Solar implemented SAP Business One, a modern Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that revolutionized operational activities and enabled the provision of positive service to stakeholders.
The strategic partnership with Tadiran Group in 2022 propelled VP Solar into a new era of accelerated growth, leading to the decision to upgrade the systems to the latest SAP technology, namely SAP S/4HANA Cloud public edition.
“With the GROW with SAP offering, we aimed to select the best solution available in the market, involving people who are inspired by the innovative developments that the company provides from the very beginning. This not only enhances efficiency and the way we work but also promotes personal and professional growth,” stated Alessio Maso, CFO of VP Solar. “Moreover, VP Solar wanted to demonstrate its distinctive value compared to direct competitors by using cutting-edge solutions and technologies that others have yet to adopt.” The decision to transition to SAP S/4HANA Cloud was driven by the commitment to deliver a superior customer experience and optimize internal operations.
Maso emphasizes the importance of internal data control and managing business information, stating, “It is truly important to have control over all internal data and manage all business information. I believe SAP understands the significance of this aspect.”
This cloud-based solution allows VP Solar to harness the power of real-time analytics and intelligent automation, leading to better decision-making and increased efficiency across the entire organization.
“By adopting SAP S/4HANA Cloud,” declares Stefano Loro, “VP Solar embraces the future of digital transformation in the renewable energy sector. In this journey of growth and digital transformation, which we share with esteemed partners like Swiss manufacturer Komax AG and WirelessCar Sweden AB, a joint venture of Volkswagen AG and Volvo AB, we are proud to be recognized as pioneers in the industry,”.
This collaboration with SAP further strengthens VP Solar’s position as a forward-looking company dedicated to driving positive change in the renewable energy field. With this cutting-edge system, all business processes and data can be seamlessly managed, empowering executives to have a comprehensive view of operations and make informed decisions in a dynamic market.
“This upgrade has been an extensive commitment, with a dedicated team working to ensure a smooth transition to the new SAP S/4HANA. The project, initiated in September 2022, was successfully completed in early April 2023. The new system allows us to provide a better service with increased flexibility, precision, and collaboration across all departments,” stated CFO Alessio Maso.
“With GROW with SAP, you can develop and execute digital transformation projects in the short term, as VP Solar has hugely demonstrated. For example, if a company want to expand its business, explore new markets or grow through acquisitions, this integrated offering from SAP is an easily replicable solution that allows to have a unique and real-time access to the information and a fast time to value,” said Fabrizio Moneta, director of Mid Market and Channel at SAP Italy.
The implementation of SAP S/4HANA Cloud is just one example of how VP Solar invests in cutting-edge solutions to promote innovation, efficiency, and sustainable growth. With SAP S/4HANA Cloud, VP Solar is confident in meeting the ever-evolving needs of its customers and contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.
