SAP accelerator certification

Paris, April 29, 2019 – Capgemini has announced that four of its supply chain and manufacturing solutions have been certified by SAP as industry innovation accelerators. These certifications recognise Capgemini’s ability to help clients achieve their digital transformation goals by accelerating delivery and enabling competitive differentiation. They also reinforce its strategic partnership with SAP.

“We are very pleased to be successful in completing SAP certification for our industry innovation accelerators,” says Philippe D’Amato, SAP Global Alliance Lead at Capgemini. “This industry recognition underpins our commitment to our customers to continue identifying and implementing innovative technologies to help them realise the business benefits of their digital transformation journeys.”

Certified partner-built industry innovation accelerators follow SAP best practices by incorporating design-thinking methodologies to help customers get to the root of the problem and come up with a solution to meet their needs in their environment. The innovation kits are part of Capgemini’s strategic collaboration with SAP. Through the SAP Cloud Platform, Capgemini has been able, with the necessary tools and resources, to identify opportunities and build prepackaged industry accelerators.

The four Capgemini solutions that are certified for the manufacturing and retail (supply chain) sectors are:

1. Intelligent Shipping – designed to achieve efficiencies in the shipment process through the automated processing of a high volume of delivery documents and converting them into shipments with better capacity utilisation for each shipment.
2. Cold Chain Quality Assurance – designed to enable clients to achieve safe distribution, improve quality of goods, certify and trace deliveries, and cut waste.
3. Trusted Goods Consumer Dialogue – designed to enhance the customer experience by providing them with trusted information from a single source.
4. Visual Inspection – designed to help manufacturers avoid costly returns and customer dissatisfaction resulting from the shipment of wrong or defective parts.

“Over the past two years, the demand for pre-built solutions designed to solve customers’ most strategic business problems has grown impressively,” said Mike Flannagan, senior vice president of SAP Intelligent Enterprise Solutions. “Capgemini and SAP have worked closely to help organisations transform their businesses, and ultimately build more intelligent enterprises.”
