About Piller

Piller Blowers & Compressors GmbH designs and manufactures high-performance blowers and compressors that are used in the food, pulp and paper, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and industrial wastewater treatment industry sectors. This family-run business based in Moringen, Germany, also has operations in the United States, Singapore, Australia, and China, as well as joint ventures in Korea, India, and Brazil.

"The SAP implementation forms the basis for further internationalization. It serves as the backbone for all our company processes."

Thomas Henzler,
CIO, Piller Blowers & Compressors

Key Highlights

  • Gaining quick insights with SAP Signavio Process Insights and further standardizing the SAP S/4HANA on-premise system, while making it cloud-ready.
  • A clear overview of process flows gives Piller the transparency needed to refine workflows, optimize operational efficiency, and establish scalable processes that support business growth, while improving lead times and data quality.
  • Streamlining processes saves time, allowing teams to focus and act on critical tasks.
One notable advantage for us was the integration between SAP LeanIX solutions and SAP Cloud ALM. This enabled us to rapidly discover our system landscape with minimal manual effort.” said Thomas Henzler, CIO, Piller Blowers & Compressors. Thomas explained, “We also analyzed the diversity of transactions, which allowed us to streamline processes having more time for critical tasks, focusing on working with numbers, rather than for numbers.

The Biggest Challenge

  • As a growth-focused, midsize company, Piller is expanding fast. To support this rapid growth, the ability to make agile and informed decisions is key.
  • Before implementation, Piller lacked a clear overview of process flows, particularly in the lead-to-cash process, which spans from a customer’s order to payment.
  • This lack of standardization made it challenging to obtain accurate and timely information and created a substantial need for consolidation.

Why SAP

  • Single, unified solution to connect on-premise and cloud-based systems.
  • Gaining quick insights with SAP Signavio Process Insights, allowing for simultaneously standardizing the SAP S/4HANA on-premise system and building towards cloud adoption.
  • The second phase is to map this into a process landscape using the SAP Signavio Process Editor, then execute the move to the public cloud.

“A moment of success for me was realizing the possibilities SAP Signavio solutions offer to perfectly support our production process and order fulfillment.”
