From Management to Performance:Witnessing New Value in Smart Manufacturing Founder × soetek SAP ERP Implementation Story

Before implementing SAP ERP, Founder’s internal operations often faced disputes caused by inconsistent information.
For example, discrepancies in material counts between procurement and shop floor teams frequently led to chasing parts and interpersonal friction.
After implementation, material accuracy improved to 100%, and supply chain information became fully transparent and traceable, enabling more efficient cross-department collaboration.

At the same time, the impact on financial management has been even more significant.
In the past, financial reports required 14 to 21 days to complete; today, they can be generated in just three days.
This dramatic improvement has accelerated management decision-making and allows the leadership team to stay closely connected to the company’s real-time performance.
Chairwoman Lin shared a real-world example: “In the past, overseas clients often felt that our reasons for price adjustments were not convincing enough.
However, when their CFO saw the complete data pulled directly from our SAP system and we were able to clearly present the cost structure within just one hour, they immediately agreed to the adjustment.
This is efficiency—and it is the key to aligning with international standards.”

One of the most challenging tasks in this project was driving the full rollout of the barcode system.
From purchasing and inbound logistics to production and shipment, every step had to be supported by barcode labeling and scanning to ensure real-time data synchronization.
This required not only internal process transformation, but also close collaboration with suppliers.

Beyond system implementation, the soetek team supported Founder by guiding suppliers and even helping prepare barcode scanners.

While some team members initially felt the process was more cumbersome, continuous hands-on support and practical training ultimately enabled the entire supply chain to become digitally connected, truly achieving end-to-end automation.
Once an order is placed at the front end, backend processes become immediately traceable, with transparent and fast data flow—allowing people to focus on higher-value work.

soetek’s leadership emphasizes that its value lies not merely in providing software, but in “tailoring processes to each organization and accompanying companies as they grow.”
From early-stage assessments and cross-department integration to post-implementation operations and maintenance, soetek’s consulting team is involved throughout the entire journey, ensuring that the system can continuously evolve in line with business scale and international requirements.

“soetek is not simply a system vendor, but Founder’s most trusted partner.
We have accompanied them through their digital transformation and worked alongside them to build a truly intelligent factory.”

Through soetek’s professional implementation, Founder not only completed its digital upgrade, but also successfully integrated sustainability with intelligence, setting a benchmark for the manufacturing industry.
This is more than a successful case—it represents the path forward for manufacturers facing global challenges: driving efficiency through digital transformation and achieving sustainability through the circular economy.
