SAP Supply Chain specialists, The Config Team, is offering its services free of charge to any projects directly supporting the Covid-19 effort


T


he company is already working with automotive, manufacturing and food


and beverage customers, that are transferring skills and activities, or ramping up production, to manufacture vital equipment, goods and products. The Config Team is now extending the


offer to any businesses that could utilise its expertise. Whether it is temporary production or warehouse facilities, manufacturing plants or distribution centres, the team can offer advice, design or technical support with regards to maximising the benefits of SAP. With more than 50 consultants, with


specialist expertise in supply chain operations and SAP, The Config Team is working hard to ensure all of its team is operating, without needing to place anyone in the furlough scheme. Many are working on active customer projects, others are progressing some exciting new product R&D projects, but the company is also keen to utilise its collective expertise to help support projects or companies helping with the current pandemic. The Config Team is listed on the


Government Covid-19 Supplier Portal and has been in contact with several companies, which are working on vital production operations, regarding its

services and how it could help with supply chain operations or SAP support. Effective supply chain operations are critical to the continuing movement of goods, whether that is medical supplies and equipment, food and drink or consumer goods, and small SAP enhancements could help achieve this. Often, even a small configuration


change can offer significant improvements to efficiencies, while there are pre-built mobile applications that can be implemented quickly to increase productivity, improve stock accuracy and visibility and speed up delivery times. Many of The Config Team’s consultants came from an operations background, so they know the business and supply chain processes just as well as they know SAP. This puts the company in a unique position to be able to really make a difference to supply chain operations, even for companies not running SAP, as its combined supply chain operational skills and SAP expertise, means it has the ability to cater for changing demand or production requirements. Commenting on the offer of support,


The Config Team managing director, Andrew Moses, said: “Like many businesses at the moment, we want to

do whatever we can to play our part in supporting the fight against this pandemic. We can’t manufacture or provide critical supplies, but what we know is logistics and SAP, it is all we do all day, every day, so if anyone could use our knowledge and expertise, we would like to do whatever we can to help. “Sometimes a simple system change,


or a quick installation, can make a huge difference. We are already speaking with our existing customers and are listed on the Government Portal, but we would like to extend this offer, without charge, to the wider business community. Whether you already know what you would like to achieve, but need some help getting there, or you would just like a call for some advice, please get in touch if you are directly supporting the Covid-19 effort.” The Config Team specialises in the


design, development and implementation of innovative SAP Supply Chain solutions that deliver an integrated end-to-end supply chain process. The company has been delivering successful SAP projects for more than 25 years, for global brands across a diverse range of industries including manufacturing, automotive, food and beverage and pharmaceutical.
