Molex faced challenges with its legacy supply chain solution, which combined manual processes and old software that could not keep pace with modern demands. The company struggled with limited supplier adoption, confirming only 30% of purchase orders through the system, risking delivery reliability and customer satisfaction. To improve, Molex implemented SAP Business Network, a cloud platform that enhances communication between suppliers and improves order visibility.
The transition to SAP has drastically improved the order confirmation rate from 30% to 90%, empowering suppliers and enhancing collaboration. The new solution eliminated tedious manual input for Molex employees, allowing them to concentrate on higher-value tasks. Major improvements in supply chain management have led to $1 billion in transactions processed in the first 18 months and a significant boost in operational efficiency. Ultimately, this transformation earned Molex an award at the SAP Innovation Awards 2025 for their effective use of SAP cloud solutions to enhance their supply chain processes.
