Case study
Healthcare ERP: a five-site hospital network on one real-time system
Five hospital sites ran wards, pharmacy and finance on separate systems. SAP S/4HANA put them on one platform and shortened the group close.

Five sites, five systems, a slow group close
Group reporting was stitched together by hand, the month-end close dragged on, and leadership never saw current numbers across the network.
- Site systems did not share a common data model.
- Pharmacy and stores were counted and reconciled separately.
- The group close took weeks of manual consolidation.
- No live view of revenue, occupancy or stock across sites.
One SAP S/4HANA platform across the network
Every site now posts to the same live data.
- One instance and one chart of accounts across sites.
- Pharmacy and stores managed with batch and expiry.
- Embedded analytics give live group reporting.
- Role-based access and audit trails throughout.
A global template, piloted then rolled out
Each site cut over on a weekend so care was not disrupted, and finance ran a parallel close before sign-off.
Go-live took eighteen weeks, with TCB on site for each cutover and the first group close.
A faster close and one view of the network
Pharmacy waste fell with expiry tracking, and leadership now sees revenue, occupancy and stock across all five sites on one dashboard.
