ContiTech unifies 13 ERP systems to SAP digital core

The Enterprise Transformation project: From fragmented systems to one source of truth

ContiTech is a global industrial leader manufacturing smart solutions across 40 countries. Over 15 years of aggressive acquisitions positioned the company as an industry champion. However, rapid growth led to a fragmented IT landscape, with more than 13 different ERP systems operating independently and no unified data foundation to drive decision-making. Without unified data, the company couldn't consolidate operations, streamline processes, or make fast, informed decisions across the enterprise.

For a multi-billion-euro manufacturer, the risks were catastrophic: production delays, inability to serve customers, broken supply chains, and massive financial losses. Any misstep during migration could cripple operations.

"I cannot even distinguish between the ContiTech people and the DXC people. This is one team. We have the same goal. This is a true partnership between DXC and ContiTech."

Matthias Reinsberg, SVP Finance and Controlling at ContiTech

Strategic partnership and on-site expertise

In partnership with DXC, ContiTech launched an ambitious migration to a unified SAP S/4HANA Digital Core to standardize business processes worldwide. DXC embedded technical experts directly on ContiTech's factory floors — bringing firsthand expertise to the heart of operations. These teams sat in the same conference rooms, walked the production floor before go-live, and rigorously tested every business scenario. This deep collaboration forged an unprecedented bond between organizations—breaking down silos and creating genuine partnership.

Transforming data into strategic advantage

The migration successfully delivered the unified data foundation ContiTech desperately needed.

  • Single Source of Truth: Consolidated data across all 40 countries enables accurate, real-time visibility
  • Faster Decision-Making: All data now available to make better, faster, and more appropriate business decisions
  • Enhanced Automation: Outstanding improvements in automation and digitalization across operations
  • Foundation for AI: Platform now positioned for artificial intelligence applications to further automate manual processes

The next horizon

With their digital core securely in place, ContiTech and DXC are already exploring business cases in artificial intelligence to drive further automation and digitalization. ContiTech recognizes that DXC will remain crucial to their journey toward becoming a fully digital enterprise.

The transformation demonstrates a critical lesson: operational resilience isn't achieved through scaling alone — it requires unifying global footprints into a cohesive, data-driven organization.
