The Challenge

Management:

Amberg has established a subsidiary in China. However, due to differences in culture, regulations, language, and business environment, the company is unable to achieve unified management and planning at the group level.

Overseas Business:

Adhering to the philosophy of “rooted in Europe, developing in Europe, and cultivating Europe,” the company’s management is primarily led by the European team, with the goal of developing a local management team. Most employees are local European personnel. However, due to differences in culture, education, and management philosophy, routine management and localized guidance work are complex and time-consuming, making it difficult to focus on improving internal operations and risk control. This poses potential risks for the company’s future development.

Digital Transformation:

There is a significant gap between the levels of digitalization in Europe and China. The company lacks the capacity to build localized IT systems, and issues related to group management and business operations cannot be effectively addressed through information systems.

The Solution

In the face of these challenges, Amberg found a perfect match with Yonyou YonSuite, jointly driving digital transformation to achieve global data transparency and integrated financial management.

This is specifically reflected in the following aspects:

Unified Definition of Corporate Organisation

Amberg defined its global regional organizational structure within the YonSuite system, achieving a unified definition of its global organizational architecture. This enabled the establishment of intercompany transaction relationships, domestic and international collaboration frameworks, and centralized financial accounting systems.

Automated Finance and Intelligent Accounting

Every business activity involving payments, receipts, and inventory movements automatically generates corresponding financial accounting entries in the system. Each business document is linked to an accounting voucher, which automatically triggers posting, voucher creation, and month-end closing. This automation frees financial staff from basic tasks such as account reconciliation and inventory checks, allowing them to focus more on on-site operational management.

Globally Unified Data Standards

YonSuite standardizes and digitizes core business data, helping the company streamline procurement and inventory inflow/outflow processes. This supports systemized data collection and process management, enabling clear insights into inventory levels and the costs of goods received, issued, and stored.
