Many organisations across the globe have embraced RISE with SAP, a concierge Business Transformation as a Service offering the SAP cloud ERP, since its launch in January 2021 to help them drive growth across their top-line, bottom-line, and green-line.
Virtual care company LetsGetChecked is embarking on a digital transformation journey leveraging RISE with SAP in partnership with Sapphire Systems, a leading provider of digital operating transformation for mid-market and mid-enterprises. Driving innovation in healthcare, the global company joins the roster of organisations that have also recently adopted SAP’s subscription-based offering such as global tea-manufacturer Twinings Ovaltine and supermarket chain Asda.
Sharing about the latest collaborative partnership, Michiel Verhoeven, Managing Director for SAP UK & Ireland, said:
“RISE with SAP is designed to help organisations deploy SAP S/4HANA Cloud in the most straightforward, structured way possible, enabling their digital transformation in the cloud. We have a great sense of pride in servicing high-growth, market innovators such as LetsGetChecked. Through the strength of Sapphire Systems as a quality SAP Partner, RISE will enable a faster time to deploy, implementation of standard processes and innovation outside the core.”
SAP Cloud ERP to Support Next-Stage Growth
LetsGetChecked is a leading healthcare innovator offering an end-to-end model that covers at-home testing, telehealth services, manufacturing, lab analysis, and pharmacy capabilities, among other services. A relatively young company founded in 2015, the company’s innovation strategy in the healthcare industry centred on science and technology has already earned $71 Million in Series C funding and closed a $150 million Series D round of financing in June 2021, which enabled LetsGetChecked to build a cutting-edge laboratory in Monrovia, CA and deliver on the burgeoning COVID-19 testing demands. In total, the healthcare solutions provider co-headquartered in Dublin and New York was able to raise over $260 million capital .
With a growing market presence in the United States and most EU countries, LetsGetChecked recognised the urgent need for an intelligent, scalable platform to support the healthcare solutions provider’s global expansion and diversification. Having SAP Partner Sapphire Systems onboard, LetsGetChecked is slated to roll out RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud at its Dublin office in December 2022– followed by a phase two implementation across its laboratories– to drive better control as well as collaboration and confidence within and outside the organisation.
According to Gary Fitzgerald, Group Financial Controller of LetsGetChecked, the company’s business model gained traction rapidly with the massive disruption in the healthcare market, in which at-home testing and care have become widely accepted. On selecting RISE with SAP to back the growth opportunity, he explained:
“Our decision to invest in a world-class digital platform was pivotal to support our next stage of growth and it quickly became clear that SAP S/4 HANA Cloud would be an excellent fit for our complex business model. Their system delivers automation, simplifies business processes in the cloud, provides real-time business insights and visibility of the entire sales, inventory, and fulfilment lifecycle. Complementing the platform, Sapphire Systems understands all our complexities and specific needs. Their team worked closely with us to scope out the right project methodology and expedite performance.”
RISE with SAP is a comprehensive solution that harnesses SAP S/4HANA Cloud- an SAP Cloud ERP-, offers extensibility and industry next-practices, as well as for analytics and business process intelligence. A complete ERP system, SAP S/4HANA Cloud has built-in intelligent technologies such as AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics that enable organisations to rapidly adopt new business models and manage business change.
Chris Gabriel, Chief Strategy Officer for Sapphire, highlighted:
“If there is one thing the last two years have taught us, it is that speed of change and adaptability to change defines success. We are incredibly excited to be partnering with LetsGetChecked and SAP to deliver the powerful combination of SAP S/4HANA Cloud speed and RISE adaptability to create the digital operating platform that will now sit at the core.”
