Genetec Revolutionizes Business Operations Using SAP S/4HANA Cloud ERP
Genetec Elevates Business with SAP S/4HANA® Cloud Implementation
Genetec, headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has recently taken a major step towards strengthening its business foundation by adopting SAP's cloud ERP solution, SAP S/4HANA® Cloud Public Edition. This strategic move is aimed at refining operational processes and enabling the company to make swift and accurate management decisions. The system's implementation, which began in October 2025, is facilitated by OneAyle Consulting, a consulting partner based in Minato, Tokyo.
Understanding Genetec's Operations
Genetec has been at the forefront of merging hardware and software to provide innovative system solutions. Their offerings extend into various segments including: 3D-CAD/CAM systems, 3D simulation software, and disaster response applications like 'Kokodayo,' a GPS application designed for sharing location information during emergencies.
With the recent expansion of their business scope and corporate scale, it became critical for Genetec to establish a robust management structure. A key element of this transformation is achieving real-time management capabilities, which demanded a comprehensive business reform centered on standardizing operations across the company.
Why SAP S/4HANA® Cloud?
With a proven track record in global implementations, SAP S/4HANA® Cloud Public Edition was chosen as the foundation for this initiative. The ERP system will consolidate essential operational data from several disparate systems into one unified platform. By streamlining sales management, project management, inventory purchasing, as well as financial and managerial accounting, Genetec aims to enhance its operational capabilities significantly.
This integration will facilitate quick monthly closings, immediate profitability assessments, and more efficient analytical processes, establishing a foundation for faster business decision-making. Additionally, internal controls and governance mechanisms will be strengthened with a unified operating system grounded in standardized processes.
Key to Successful Implementation
The success of this project can be attributed to the active involvement of Genetec's operational teams in the business transformation process. Every business unit adopted the mindset of aligning their operations to SAP's established standards—an approach known as 'Fit to Standard.' Collaborating closely with OneAyle Consulting, they maximized the use of SAP's standard functionalities, creating a highly scalable environment that does not overly rely on add-ons.
Discussions about the differences between current operations and the proposed system were thoroughly conducted, leading to a proactive acceptance of necessary changes. This commitment to standardization while embracing the need for operational reform is pivotal to the project's success. Executive leadership also played a critical role by overseeing the project under a robust governance structure.
Enhancing Corporate Capabilities
As a result of strengthening its management foundation, Genetec has established a system that allows for real-time insights into corporate conditions. The consolidation and visualization of data across departments have improved significantly, leading to reduced workloads and increased transparency in internal controls.
Looking ahead, Genetec plans to leverage the knowledge and experience gained from this ERP implementation to offer comprehensive services to clients, especially in the manufacturing sector. This includes thorough business analysis, ERP implementation consulting, and support for business improvements, both of which will facilitate further expansion in the ERP space.
