Securing a global, high-stakes supply chain
Manage complex, capital-intensive and globally distributed supply chains to ensure availability, quality and on-time delivery. In Aerospace & Defense, controlling critical suppliers and safeguarding material flows is essential to protect production schedules and contractual commitments.
Meeting stringent regulatory and certification standards
Comply with aviation and defense regulations such as DO/EN norms, ITAR, export controls and strict traceability requirements. SAP systems must embed these constraints to guarantee end-to-end traceability of parts, operations and documentation.
Digitalizing industrial operations
Automate, connect and optimize production, maintenance and logistics. MES, IoT, connected maintenance and automated warehousing help increase productivity, reduce errors and strengthen traceability in environments where zero-defect performance is non-negotiable.
Improving financial and program governance
Manage CAPEX/OPEX, long-term contracts and multi-site programs with precision. Aerospace & Defense projects are long, complex and cost-sensitive. Integrated financial governance is key to securing margins, controlling risks and meeting strategic milestones.
Strengthening cybersecurity across critical systems
Protect industrial systems and sensitive data against cyber threats. Aerospace and defense organizations are prime targets for cyberattacks; securing SAP landscapes, production systems and data integrity is a foundational requirement.
Our expertise in
aerospace & defense
We bring together deep SAP expertise and a strong understanding of mission-critical industrial environments to support your transformation projects end to end. Our teams combine functional excellence, operational insight and proven experience with leading aerospace manufacturers and defense contractors.
Deep industry knowledge
We have delivered numerous engagements for major OEMs, tier-1 suppliers and equipment manufacturers. Our teams understand the sector’s strict quality standards, certification requirements and highly complex, multi-tier supply chains. This industry grounding allows us to design solutions that align with real production, maintenance and regulatory constraints.
Advanced SAP expertise across industrial processes
We operate across the full SAP footprint used in Aerospace & Defense:
PP for production planning and sequencing,
PM for asset and fleet maintenance,
QM for quality control and compliance,
EWM and MM for logistics and material flows,
S/4HANA for unified operations and analytics,
with strong experience integrating SAP with MES, PLM, and shop-floor systems.
This combination enables us to build coherent, resilient and secure architectures across engineering, production, logistics and support operations.
A collaborative, on-the-ground approach
We work closely with production, maintenance, quality and IT teams to co-design solutions that are practical, robust and fully adopted. Our approach emphasizes workshops, iterative delivery and continuous feedback to ensure operational fit and user acceptance, key success factors in highly regulated environments.
Proven experience with complex, large-scale programs
We support organizations through demanding initiatives:
- S/4HANA migrations and harmonization,
- multi-site standardization,
- international programs,
- carve-outs and post-merger integration,
- supply chain redesign and process re-engineering.
Our experience allows us to secure planning, governance and risk management on projects with significant operational impacts.
