SAP and Hilti collaborate to make cloud product lifecycle management possible

SAP partnered with Hilti AG to enhance business data connectivity and streamline operations, leading to improved efficiency and cost savings in engineering and research and development departments.

Native integration with SAP supply chain management and cloud ERP systems is one of the new features of SAP's new and innovative PLM solutions. This connectivity gives organizations end-to-end visibility and control over the whole value chain, allowing them to provide the right product at the right time at the right price. Companies may effectively manage product information, optimize workflows, and promote cross-functional cooperation by seamlessly integrating product data with business processes. This will ultimately improve their capacity to meet market expectations. The solution shortens implementation timeframes by integrating with third-party computer-aided design tools and product data management, utilizing collaborations with DSC Software AG, Cideon, and others.

The connectivity, according to Dominik Metzger, head of engineering at SAP Digital Supply Chain, is essential for businesses updating their operational procedures and production strategy. He continued by saying that working with Hilti gave them a chance to influence the direction of cloud-native SAP PLM products while also demonstrating their faith in their product lifecycle management solutions.

As a single source of truth, a centralized repository for product data management is integrated right into the SAP PLM suite. Facilitating efficient collaboration among many stakeholders reduces complexity in data management, reduces errors, and quickens time to market.

With a wide range of construction products, Hilti, a company with operations in over 120 countries, has been at the forefront of innovation. In order to provide clients with specifically engineered and on-demand prefabricated items, the company has started its next phase of digital transformation by implementing SAP PLM in the cloud. This will result in previously unheard-of levels of efficiency and transparency in its product development processes.
