- Sydney, Australia
One of the world's largest metal and electronics recycling companies, operating across hundreds of sites in North America, Australasia and Europe - relying on robust enterprise systems to manage finance, procurement and sales at scale.
The Challenge
Three Years In, Value Still Locked
After a major S/4HANA implementation, significant capability remained untapped - with teams working around the system rather than through it, creating manual workarounds, inefficient workflows and low adoption across the organisation.

Months - Diagnostic to Roadmap Delivery
Our Approach
Structured Diagnostic; Then Full Uplift
Spearsage provided advisory on the 3 month long SAP Diagnostic then program managed the full remediation - spanning two phases: diagnosing where value was being lost, then implementing the changes to recover it.
SAP Uplift Program Management
Synthesised diagnostic findings into a prioritised uplift roadmap, then program managed 20+ improvement initiatives across five core business functions with structured change management.
Results
20+ Initiatives. Five Functions. Sustained Adoption.
The engagement delivered measurable improvements across five core business functions, launched a simplified interface and a solution governance model built to sustain adoption long after the project closed. "Spearsage provided exceptional support throughout the SAP uplift project, demonstrating strong stakeholder management, ownership, and commitment, building trusted relationships across the business" - Olivia Pang, Finance Transformation Director
