The legacy ERP system had been in production for 10 years and had simply become obsolete, pressing the group to replace the software package.

GROWTH & CONTROL
The Chimirec Group employs 900 people at 33
locations specialised in the collection and
processing of waste. A fleet of 320 heavy-duty
vehicles collects 297,000 tonnes of waste from
40,000 customers. The group generated a turnover
of 126 million euros in 2012.
The needs of the group had changed and the former
information system had simply become obsolete.
The company was looking for a tool capable of
supporting its growth, especially international
growth; a group-wide tool with a shared structure.
SAP Business All-in-One quickly became the
solution of choice. It is a pre-configured solution
that handles the needs of SMEs and met the
company’s needs.
All-in-One, whose standard version includes a
genuine library of business process, allowed the
company to considerably limit risks in terms of
deadlines and budget.
METHODOLOGY & FLEXIBILITY
Seeking an integrator capable of providing long-
term, human-scale support in order to establish a
balanced working relationship, Chimirec turned to
EoZen-SQLI Group for assistance.
« EoZen-SQLI Group has shown
itself to be very responsive
throughout the project and
adjusted perfectly to suit our
needs, which have changed over
time. »
The EoZen team implemented the methodology
recommended by SAP for the deployment of an All-
in-One solution while keeping the flexibility
required in the specific context of SMEs.

TRACEABILITY & INFORMATION RELIABILITY
What are the advantages of the deployed solution? The main
advantage of SAP All-in-One is the great rigour of the software
which, by complying with accounting standards, produces
much more reliable, trustworthy information for the group.The
other advantage of SAP is the complete traceability of
information it provides, allowing for optimal financial analysis.
ENGAGEMENT & ADOPTION
As the project started, certain concerns were raised by several
employees who were worried about being thrown into an overly
complex, restrictive situation and drifting away from users. By
relying on a network of in-house sponsors, those in charge of
the project quickly demonstrated the relevancy of the chosen
solution and transformed the initially hesitant employees into
supporters. The easy-to-use interfaces also contributed
greatly to the full acceptance of the new tool by the various
teams at the headquarters and its subsidiaries.
« This is a project that truly brought the
teams together, who quickly took
ownership of the new tools, and will be
very rewarding for all users. »
OUTSTANDING POTENTIAL
Chimirec is now starting the roll-out phase of SAP BO business
intelligence tools. These tools are seamlessly integrated with
the ERP solution, which greatly facilitates implementation.
Thanks to SAP’s outstanding potential,other projects are under
way, such as the switch to paperless invoice management,
hardware maintenance management, quality management,
and supplier evaluation.
