Driven by a significant uptake from businesses across a wide range of sectors, SAP has recently added Hong Kong-based company Tontec International Limited (Tontec) to its growing list of customers who have endorsed the subscription-based solution. SAP Hong Kong Managing Director Rajni Sharma noted that forward-thinking companies such as Tontec have the vision and drive to expand the scope and depth of their business and reimagine their operations through cloud-based intelligent solutions. He explained in the announcement:
“RISE with SAP, powered by SAP S/4HANA at the core, is well-positioned to support them, managing all key cloud solutions, services, and infrastructure across all geographies under one roof.
“We look forward to supporting more enterprises to accelerate innovation, agility, and responsiveness towards smart manufacturing,” Sharma added.
Leveraging RISE with SAP for Digital Transformation
Tontec has a growing global footprint, serving top businesses in the aerospace, automotive, industrial appliances & equipment, office appliances, and medical devices industries. The company is now one of many Hong Kong businesses that have adopted SAP integration technologies to future-proof their operations and achieve agility in today’s digital economy. With 11 manufacturing facilities across the world, Tontec is adopting automation and networking solutions to enable improved product customisation, higher quality, and shorter delivery times.
As part of its wider transformation, Tontec will upgrade its current SAP SAP S/4HANA system to the Private Cloud Edition. The project is aimed at equipping the global plastics producer with capabilities to better manage their critical processes, such as financial reporting and disaster recovery, and respond to changing business conditions with greater speed and flexibility. Furthermore, Tontec will also implement SAP Integration Suite to unify its various operational and manufacturing systems in order to accelerate and simplify innovation.
Commenting on the announcement, Nelson Lam, President at Tontec International Limited, said:
“Tontec is forging ahead on our journey to Industry 4.0. RISE with SAP and SAP S/4HANA Cloud empower us to move even more quickly to create an optimized, highly digitalised system that unlocks innovation and efficiency around the world. This is true business transformation, encompassing both solutions and services in a single package that we can scale globally with SAP as our trusted partner every step of the way.”
Throughout Asia, Tontec has already linked the manufacturing execution and quality management systems at each of its seven manufacturing locations to SAP S/4HANA in order to maximise the effectiveness of production planning and cost accounting.
