Project Delivered: GROW with SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud Revival & Adaptation
About Client
A global leader in automotive design and engineering, renowned for innovation and precision, embarked on a digital transformation journey to modernize its core operations using SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition. However, the initial implementation—delivered by a previous partner—fell short of expectations, resulting in low system adoption and disrupted business processes.

Business Challenges
While Lusso had the right vision—streamlining operations, gaining real-time insights, and supporting global design programs—the first deployment faced critical setbacks:
- Minimal user adoption due to misaligned processes and limited training.
- Poorly configured workflows that didn’t reflect real-world approval scenarios in engineering and design.
- Lack of real-time data visibility across global teams.
- Low confidence in the system’s ability to support core business operations.
Differentiating Factors
- Rebuilt system credibility across business and engineering functions.
- Realigned solution architecture with industry-specific best practices.
- Leveraged embedded analytics to support faster design-to-decision cycles.
