AnalytiChem Netherlands prepares for transition to a new ERP system, SAP S4/HANA
AnalytiChem Netherlands is preparing to implement a new ERP system, SAP S4/HANA, as part of a broader effort to strengthen business processes, improve service reliability, and enhance collaboration with customers and partners.
The go-live is planned for the first two weeks of January 2026 and represents a significant step forward in operational efficiency and digital transformation.
As part of the project plan, regular checkpoints have been established to closely monitor the progress of the implementation. Internal teams are working across departments to ensure alignment and minimize any disruption during the transition.
What to Expect During the Transition
Despite the extensive preparation, short-term impacts may occur during the initial transition phase, including:
- Delays in order processing or confirmation
- Changes in invoice formatting or reference numbers
- Adjustments to delivery timelines
Dedicated teams are in place to manage and monitor the process, helping to maintain high service levels throughout the change.
Supporting a Smooth Transition
To reduce risk and ensure continuity of supply during this change, the team encourages:
- Placing orders in advance for products needed in early January
- Including clear order references (e.g. PO numbers, delivery dates) to facilitate processing
- Maintaining close communication with the regular sales or customer service contact
A step forward in process excellence
The move to SAP S4/HANA will deliver long-term benefits for both AnalytiChem and its customers, including more streamlined operations, greater data consistency, and improved responsiveness.
Updates will continue to be shared as the go-live date approaches.
