To support an ambitious plan to double revenues in seven years, Greene Tweed needed to modernize its supply chain operations and fully leverage its SAP investment. Facing post-pandemic disruption, supplier constraints, and an over-customized ERP environment, the company turned to Reveal to unlock hidden profit through better data integrity, automation, and process alignment. The result: a 20% reduction in peak inventory, 60+ hours saved weekly in planning, and a stronger foundation for S/4HANA migration.

The Challenge

Greene Tweed, a leader in advanced materials engineering, was on a mission to scale—but its supply chain and SAP systems weren’t ready. Post-COVID disruptions left the company battling supply imbalances, rising inventory, and late deliveries. With no automated Available-to-Promise (ATP) capability, planning was manual, inefficient, and disconnected. Compounding this, their SAP ECC system had accumulated two decades of customizations, threatening the success of an upcoming S/4HANA migration.

The Decision

Greene Tweed recognized that technology alone wouldn’t drive growth—they needed to empower their people and processes to extract full value from SAP. Reveal was selected for our ability to close the gap between SAP’s capabilities and how teams use it day-to-day. Our approach promised not just system configuration, but sustainable business outcomes.

The Transformation

Reveal guided Greene Tweed through a comprehensive transformation—beginning with a deep dive into standard SAP functionality and aligning data practices with operational goals.

• ATP Implementation: Removed legacy customizations, enabling accurate delivery promises.
• Planning & Scheduling Automation: Introduced finite scheduling and automated key elements of production planning.
• Procurement Optimization: Shifted low-value purchases to consumption-based planning and implemented outline agreements, reducing manual workload.
• Warehouse Efficiency: Leveraged SAP WM and optimized physical processes to streamline put-away and picking.
• Cross-Functional Empowerment: Equipped planners and buyers to take control of key master data and collaborate more effectively across silos.

All of this was done with an eye toward long-term sustainability—and a seamless future migration to S/4HANA.
