SIPRO Consulting donates again this year to transform land into flowering meadows!

 

At SIPRO Consulting, we go beyond traditional corporate goals and take responsibility for preserving our natural habitats. With a donation, we support the creation of flowering meadows and actively promote the protection of bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

Promoting Sustainability – Together for Nature

Flowering meadows are essential for biodiversity and the pollination of plants. Unfortunately, such areas are becoming increasingly rare in our well-manicured landscapes, threatening the habitat of many insects. With our donation, we support a project dedicated to the creation and maintenance of flowering meadows, actively contributing to the preservation of these valuable habitats and biodiversity.

Certificates as Recognition

As part of this commitment, we receive Flower Meadow Sponsorship Certificates that document the donated area. These certificates are not only a symbol of our contribution to nature conservation but also a beautiful way to spread awareness of sustainability and environmental consciousness. We gift these certificates internally to our team as well as to our partners and customers – as a token of appreciation for their collaboration and as a reminder of our shared responsibility for biodiversity and nature.

A Sign for the Future

We also invite our partners and customers to join us in supporting the preservation of flowering meadows. With your support, we can create even more areas and strengthen nature in the long term. Help us expand this project and actively contribute to a greener, more sustainable future.

AI innovation in focus: Highlights from the SAP Global Trade & Tax Event 2024

From November 7 to 8, 2024, the SAP Global Trade & Tax Event took place in Amsterdam, marking a significant gathering for professionals in the fields of global trade and taxation. The event provided deep insights into current developments and future trends, with a particular focus on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into trade processes. SAP and its partners delivered inspiring presentations, offering a comprehensive overview of the future roadmap for SAP Global Trade Services (GTS). A particularly exciting topic was the application of AI in global trade. SAP introduced five innovative AI use cases, two of which were specifically developed for SAP GTS. These demonstrations powerfully illustrated how AI can transform global trade by automating processes, increasing efficiency, and minimizing sources of error.

SI PRO also had the opportunity to showcase our proprietary AI tool, Traide. This solution, seamlessly integrated with SAP GTS Edition for SAP HANA 2023, supports automated product classification. In a live demonstration, we demonstrated to participants how businesses can enhance their processes with this technology, making them more efficient and precise. Our tool helps reduce the complexity of classification while simultaneously improving speed and accuracy.

In addition to the expert presentations, the event offered numerous opportunities for networking and exchanging ideas with industry experts. The discussions about current challenges and future developments in global trade were both insightful and inspiring, providing us with fresh perspectives for further developing our solutions. The event in Amsterdam once again highlighted the importance of keeping pace with the latest technological advancements and integrating innovative solutions into business processes. The future of global trade lies in automation and artificial intelligence, and we are proud to contribute to this transformation with our solutions.

We are already looking forward to the next SAP Global Trade & Tax Event, which will take place in November 2025 in Rome. This event will once again provide a valuable opportunity to connect with industry peers and experience the latest developments in global trade and taxation.

October 21st – 23rd, 2024 in Orlando, Florida

We were thrilled to be a sponsor at Loftware Convergence 2024 – the largest conference for labeling and artwork management! It was inspiring to discuss the future of labeling with customers and industry experts. Topics such as digital transformation, authenticity, traceability, compliance, sustainability, regulations, and scalability were at the forefront.

This significant event brought together professionals from various industries to discuss how businesses can stand out from the competition, strengthen their brands, and create outstanding customer experiences. Topics discussed included digital transformation, authenticity, traceability, compliance, sustainability, regulations, and scalability.

Sascha Barth, our Project Manager at SI PRO Consulting, delivered engaging presentations alongside Danny Levesque and Mark Ritchey, and led insightful discussions on the importance of integrating labeling processes within SAP. Timothy Hanley moderated and guided the event. They emphasized the critical importance of this integration for companies looking to adapt their labeling strategies to meet the dynamic demands of the market. Sascha explained how seamless integration into SAP S/4HANA can help businesses increase efficiency and meet compliance requirements. During his talk, he shared valuable insights on how optimized labeling workflows not only improve data consistency but also drive cost savings and higher efficiency. Additionally, the challenges companies face when transitioning to SAP S/4HANA and SI PRO Consulting's solutions to overcome these hurdles were discussed.

We would like to thank all participants of Loftware Convergence 2024 for the engaging exchange and look forward to future events. Here, you can read an interview with Sascha Barth to gain further insights into his findings and the future of labeling within the SAP environment:

3E Engage 2024 - Borealis presents on joint project with SI PRO Consulting on PCN notifications using 3E Notify

As already two years ago, André Bremer and Michael Crome have again represented SI PRO at this year’s European edition of 3E Engage, which took place in Lisbon from April 9th to 11th.

The 3E Engage is a networking event organized by our partner 3E annually alternating between Europe and America/Asia, where current topics and trends in the areas of product safety, sustainability and AI are presented.

The main topics this year were the European Green Deal, the Digital Product Pass and PFAS, which have fallen into disrepute as “forever chemicals” because of their persistence, as well as reports from companies affected by these topics.

A highlight from SI PRO's perspective was a presentation we have organized together with our customer Borealis on the topic of PCN notifications using 3E Notify. Robert Lucas, an employee in the Product Stewardship department at Borealis, presented our joint project and the benefits for Borealis.

Two excellently organized evening events that provided plenty of opportunities to network with the other event participants in an informal and relaxed atmosphere were a welcome change from the presentations and workshops that took place during the day.

SAP for EHS and Product Compliance Conference Amsterdam

Viessmann, a customer of SI PRO, presented jointly with SI PRO at the SAP for EHS and Product Compliance Conference 2024 in Amsterdam, sharing their experiences in implementing SAP solutions for product compliance and regulatory adherence.

Through the integration of SAP technologies, companies like Viessmann can not only ensure compliance with regulatory requirements but also optimize their processes and achieve sustainability goals.

 

Chem-Academy 2024

As in previous years SI PRO took part in the "Product Safety in Chemical Industry" organized by the Chem-Academy, which took place in Bonn from January 29th to January 30th (https://www.chem-academy.com /Events/chemistry/product safety). There were again many informative contributions from the chemical industry and from downstream users as well as from politics and the involved authorities. At a casual evening event, the topics could be further deepened and one or the other conversation was also completely apart from product safety and politics.

 

Key topics this year were the EU chemical strategy, revisions of REACH and CLP, requirements from enforcing authorities, “Safe & Sustainable by Design” and last but not least, of course, the PFAS restrictions. SI PRO was a competent contact for his customers and all other participants throughout the entire event with a small information stand.

Christmas project in cooperation with the Foundation Unternehmen Wald

In 2023, SI PRO continues to contribute a portion of its corporate success to projects in the fields of environmental and species protection, sustainable development, or social projects.

In collaboration with the Unternehmen Wald Foundation, SI PRO has planted over 450 trees of locally suitable species such as oaks, lindens, and birches in the Harz region.

The dry summers and storms of recent years have caused enormous damage to spruce forests. Nationwide, over 400,000 hectares of spruce areas have been completely destroyed by drought, bark beetles, and storms. What remains are vast barren areas that no longer provide habitat for forest-dwelling species and where nutrients are washed away. The Harz region has been particularly hard hit, with several thousand hectares of spruce forest destroyed by bark beetles.

SI PRO achieves TISAX Certification

As an SAP partner, we want to be a reliable service provider for our customers. SI PRO has currently managed to receive the coveted TISAX certificate. This is a significant milestone for SI PRO and shows its high commitment to information security.

By obtaining TISAX certification, SI PRO is included in a directory of companies that comply with the relevant information security standards. This also ensures that potential customers and existing customers perceive SI PRO as a reliable supplier.

The international standard ISO 27001 and TISAX define requirements for companies' information security management systems (ISMS) in the areas of data protection and information security. TISAX required additional specific measures from SI PRO, the implementation of which had to be proven in order to achieve a positive assessment.

TISAX® (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) is a registered trademark of the ENX Association and a uniform standard for information security and data protection defined in the European automotive industry with special consideration of the requirements of automobile manufacturers. All members of the Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) recognize the corresponding TISAX® label and now consider it mandatory for their tenders.
