The Challenge
Smoothing compliance processes as a new publicly traded company
Established in 2017, Dizal Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. is an innovative global biomedical company with products in the clinical development stage. Dizal Pharma focuses on the research, development, and commercialization of innovative drugs in the field of malignant tumors and immune diseases. Related to these specialties, the company is committed to the exploration of new targets and the verification-of-action mechanism. Its primary goal is to launch new drugs and treatment methods.
Recently, in December 2021, Dizal Pharma was listed on the Science & Innovation Board of Shanghai Stock Exchange. In response, the company accelerated the clinical development process of product pipelines and actively deployed and expanded overseas markets.
This growth posed new challenges. The R&D of new drugs requires fluctuating long-term procurement. So it became imperative for Dizal Pharma to integrate its standardized processes, spanning procurement to finance. The company hoped a digital transformation in the cloud would improve compliance, visibility, and control while reducing costs and risks.
The Solution
Connecting procurement, HR, travel, and finance in the cloud
To help business run smoothly while becoming more competitive on a global scale, Dizal Pharma turned to RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud is a package that provides intelligent ERP along with the services and support necessary for a successful implementation and digital transformation. The company used RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud to create a foundation for future business success based on a range of intelligent functionalities and integration with other SAP solutions.
Dizal Pharma tackled the digital transformation with what it calls the “Four Clouds approach.” It implemented SAP S/4HANA Cloud and three other cloud solution suites from SAP – SAP Ariba, SAP SuccessFactors, and SAP Concur solutions. Combined, these four cloud solutions support the company’s rapidly growing needs for a range of functions including procurement, HR, and finance.
RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud connected Dizal Pharma with the expert resources to reduce the effort and risk of digital transformation. This includes the expertise of the China Research Institute at SAP. The SAP Globalization Services team also worked closely with Dizal Pharma to create a unique system connecting the business and its banks – a first in the industry.
The Result
Increasing efficiency and cutting costs amid rapid growth
SAP S/4HANA Cloud provides ERP in the cloud that matches Dizal Pharma’s global strategic approach. At the same time, it helps the company live up to its own high standards for compliance.
Today, Dizal Pharma is growing on a business-finance integration platform that connects procurement, HR, travel, and finance to boost synergy across the business. It used SAP S/4HANA Cloud to create a digital control system that connects the company directly with banks to enable real-time inquiry of account, receipt, and payment information. This way, the company can manage centralized, transparent funds. It’s seen a 90% increase in payment efficiency and a 60% decrease in the operating cost of accounts payable.
