Company Description

VINCI is a world leader in concessions, energy, and construction, operating in more than 120 countries. At the forefront of addressing today’s global challenges, VINCI aims to play an active role in the energy and environmental transition of living spaces, infrastructure, and mobility. The Swiss subsidiary of VINCI embodies this mission, contributing significantly to the group’s overall objectives.

Problem Statement

VINCI’s Swiss subsidiary operates in a dynamic market environment where acquiring smaller companies is a strategic move to enhance capabilities and expand market presence. However, integrating these newly acquired companies into the existing SAP system quickly and efficiently posed a significant challenge. The goal was to streamline this integration process while maintaining operational efficiency and ensuring each new entity could be managed effectively. In addition to the support required for ongoing operations, the primary focus was on achieving a seamless and rapid integration of these new acquisitions into VINCI’s SAP system.

Solution That Was Implemented

To address this challenge, a robust solution was implemented, involving the creation of distinct company codes for each acquired entity within VINCI's SAP system. This approach ensured that each new company could be integrated smoothly while maintaining its unique operational identity. Key SAP processes were established for these new companies, following a standard group setup to ensure consistency and coherence across the organization.

The solution encompassed the integration of over 20 newly acquired companies, each assigned its own company code. This allowed for precise configuration of SAP processes to align with VINCI’s operational standards, ensuring streamlined operations across all subsidiaries. The standardized setup was critical in maintaining the integrity of VINCI’s SAP environment while accommodating the unique needs of each new entity.

Value Added

The implementation of this solution provided substantial value to VINCI’s Swiss subsidiary. By enabling the rapid integration of newly acquired companies with distinct company codes, VINCI could exercise better control and oversight over these entities. This setup allowed for accurate management of financials and operations, facilitating precise bonus/minus calculations for each customer project.

Furthermore, this approach provided VINCI with enhanced visibility and oversight of all its subsidiaries. The standardized setup allowed for better resource allocation, performance tracking, and operational efficiency across the entire organization. This comprehensive integration strategy not only improved operational control but also supported VINCI’s broader strategic goals in the energy and environmental transition of their projects.
