The Spotless Group, an international services company specialising in outsourced facility management, has gone live with the first phase of its SAP transformation program.
Spotless has worked with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on the project, which to date has covered SAP Finance, Procurement, Service Asset Management, Sales and Distribution, Portal, Process Integration, Reporting and Human Resources.
Spotless Cleaning Services and the company’s corporate divisions are the first operations to benefit from the IT platform transformation, which aims to improve business agility as well as deliver net financial benefits in the medium term and beyond.
Spotless managing director and CEO Josef Farnik said the SAP solution is expected to streamline Spotless’ business operations as well as enhance information sharing and business administration efficiencies.
“The Spotless business and IT transformation project has been designed to standardise core business processes across the organisation enabled by a common technology platform, thereby unlocking substantial recurring financial benefits. Other benefits include centralising the management of client and supplier data. To date, the Spotless implementation team has conducted over 10,000 tests and migrated 125,000 data fields into SAP.”
The next implementation, which will involve moving other core Spotless businesses – Managed Services, Laundry Services and Food Services – across to the SAP platform.
TCS will also provide spotless with ongoing support for the SAP solution.
Deborah Hadwen, CEO, Tata Consultancy Services – Australia and New Zealand, said the company was delighted to assist Spotless with its transformation program, adding “Our strong global alliance relationship and delivery model allows us to provide global experience locally to ensure delivery quality to clients, as we have with Spotless.”
