adopts SAP software as its business scales up
Nanoform grows with cloud ERP
Nanoform's story began in Helsinki, Finland, with a game-changing particle engineering technology
that its founders believed could revolutionize the pharma industry. Since then, Nanoform has
grown rapidly, transforming into a company with global reach as it continues its mission to improve
the lives of patients globally.
“Nanoform continues to scale up its GMP manufacturing operations. As we do this, we are
committed to helping our customers advance their key programs through the clinic by
implementing robust systems such as SAP software to support best-in-class infrastructure,” says
David Rowe, Head of Manufacturing at Nanoform.
Grow by SAP for Scale-ups is an exclusive program for hypergrowth companies, designed to help
them accelerate their business in the most sustainable way possible.
The program provides all the essential back-office business requirements, including enterprise
resource planning (ERP) & finance, HR & people engagement, travel & expense management and
business analytics. These technologies are typically seen as aspirational for scale-ups, so the Grow
by SAP for Scale-ups program removes the barriers to entry and equips them with everything they
need to take their business to new heights. This includes SAP S/4HANA ERP capabilities that take
full advantage of the cloud, machine learning, AI and advanced data analytics, human experience
management (HXM) and automation of core processes.
“We have all witnessed how vital scale-ups have been to ensure the world keeps moving
throughout the pandemic and other crisis. SAP shares the same vision with these disruptive
businesses, and we believe that providing access to these world-class technologies in a flexible
cloud package will act as a catalyst in helping them turbo charge their growth, boost innovation and
compete more effectively in the global marketplace,” says Tomi Koskinen, Sales Manager at Pearl
Finland. Both local SAP Partner Pearl Finland and NTT DATA Business Solutions, acting in the
capacity as industry specialist, supported Nanoform with the implementation.
Nanoform has implemented business processes based on pharmaceutical best practices including
manufacturing, procurement, finance, approval workflows and project management. Onboarding
new subsidiaries internationally will be much faster, removing an obstacle for growth. With group
reporting capabilities and revenue recognition no longer a manual process, Nanoform is working on
going Excel-free and to have one single source of accurate information, group wide.
