IBM announced that it has implemented a Vehicle Management System on SAP S/4HANA at Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation as part of the automobile manufacturer's digital transformation strategy. The implementation of VMS on SAP S/4HANA by IBM Consulting was preceded by the migration out of the AS/400 platform. The VMS: consisting of financial, logistics and vehicle sales operations; has enabled MMPC to transform processes across the operation and vehicle supply chain.

A centralized view of its business operations gives MMPC faster access to critical business data and faster processing, with end-to-end visibility of vehicle data from production to end customer and at the same time, be compliant with regulatory reporting requirements. In addition, the unified financial and management accounting also reduced MMPC's manual finance operations, which results in lower operational cost. MMPC is also taking its first steps in its journey to the cloud with SAP S/4HANA implementation.

The modernization of its legacy applications from on-premises to a cloud environment is designed to help the automaker create operational efficiencies by simplifying internal processes. SAP S/4HANA is a complete enterprise resource planning system for organizations to create custom roadmaps in order to lower cost, increase agility and improve business results. It is designed to deliver intelligent workflows that enables continuous process orchestration across applications for better data insights, predictive capabilities and automation that drives business outcomes.
