How Did We
Succeed Together With KOPAS?

Kopas Cosmetics is the pioneer of innovations and developments in the sector with its products that focus on quality and appeal to consumers of all ages and from all segments. Therefore, one of the project goals of the company was to increase business performance by starting to benefit from process simplifications and successful applications in the sector as early as possible with this transformation.

We started the project with the kick-off meeting on 27.01.2021 and initiated the Project Analysis. We made adaptations on the SAP S/4 HANA Platform according to industry needs and taking into account the Best Business Processes.

In this period, we analysed business processes, industry-specific requirements and integrations between SAP and other 3rd party software solutions (NETLOG, MAP and BİLGERA) and made related improvements.

The project lasted for 12 months. It went live on 31.12.21, without any interruption, and with the dedication of both teams and their efficient work.
