In an era of globalization and rapid digital transformation, adopting advanced technology solutions has become a critical factor for businesses seeking to enhance their competitiveness. Recognizing the importance of technology investment, Friwo Vietnam has decided to implement the SAP S/4HANA solution to optimize its production and business operations and to meet future development needs.
On September 7, Friwo Vietnam marked a significant milestone in its digital transformation journey by officially launching the SAP S/4HANA implementation project for its three factories located in the Amata Industrial Park, Bien Hoa City, Dong Nai Province. The project kick-off ceremony was held virtually, with the participation of representatives from Friwo Germany, Friwo Vietnam, and the implementation partners All For One Steeb (Germany) and Citek (Vietnam). This collaboration promises to open a new chapter of sustainable growth and success for Friwo in the Vietnamese market.
