As Vascular Concept's current manual-based processes had become cumbersome, YASH implemented SAP ERP to provide an automated and transparent production and quality management process. This would enable Vascular Concepts to keep track of how and when it manufactured its products to ensure that their quality standards met the strict legislation governing this highly regulated industry, and to maximize the visibility into valuable operational data.

1. SAP® ERP Success Story @ YASH
Medical devices manufacturer enables the full potential
of the business with SAP ERP and CPGOne
Industry The Client
Life Sciences Vascular Concepts Limited (Vascular Concepts) is a medical device company, involved
in the design, development, manufacturing and global distribution of medical devices
for the cardiovascular markets. As the operating division of the Vascular Concepts
Geography Group, the company's products are utilized in the treatment of arterial diseases and
are sold under the brand names ProPass and ProlinkLP.
India
Revolutionary Medical Technology Spurred Rapid Growth
Vascular Concepts manufactures state-of-the-art medical devices, based on proprietary technology, used to treat arterial diseases. As
the company experienced rapid growth, it discovered that the existing legacy business applications were hindering additional growth
and their competitive advantage in the marketplace. Business processes were manual and management visibility into valuable
operational data was difficult to access. In addition, the company needed better inventory management to control logistics costs and
enhance accountability and revenue forecasts.
To minimize obstacles in realizing the company's full potential, Vascular Concepts decided to replace the aging platform with SAP ERP
that would provide a modern, integrated, fully supported solution with the scalability to eliminate ceilings on growth. In order to help
the company standardize its operational processes, Vascular Concepts selected YASH Technologies as their strategic partner to extend
system capabilities to support their growth initiatives. As an SAP certified Gold Partner and certified global SAP AMS partner, YASH had
the experience to lower the Total Cost of Ownership through flexible programs and global delivery options, accelerator tools, and a
proprietary implementation methodology.

Vascular Concepts Ltd. and enable timely analysis of production data.
With headquarters in Bangalore, it was necessary that Vascular Concepts comply with complex Indian
excise and statutory requirements. Typical project extensions of this nature would normally require
extensive customizations. However, YASH understood the client's budget and time restraints and
proposed to incorporate CPGOne, a proprietary SAP Business All-in-One solution for the consumer
packaged goods industry. Developed by YASH to address Indian localization requirements, CPGOne is a
pre-configured, comprehensive solution based on SAP Best Practices that would provide efficient
utilization of resources for statutory compliance issues. YASH also utilized their proprietary
implementation methodology, S-Imple, to streamline the project even further. Rather than spending
valuable time and resources defining and configuring standard business processes, YASH leveraged best
practices and preconfigured business scenarios to rapidly speed up the implementation. YASH was able to
minimize customization using the design by exception rule and focused on data cleansing, conversion,
knowledge transfer, and end-user learning to minimize project duration, costs, and risks.
Vascular Concepts Realized Low Total Cost of Ownership with Integrated
Business Processes across the Enterprise
With a single integrated operational platform that adopted best practices for India localization, Vascular
Concepts opened up new opportunities for growth, raised productivity, and increased transparency
throughout the enterprise. The move to SAP delivered even more benefits than Vascular Concepts
envisioned. Streamlined, automated processes prevailed in materials management, invoicing and many
other areas. The documentation process became quicker, simpler, more accurate and comprehensive.
Additional operational benefits included:
• Complete compliance with ISO requirements and Indian excise statutes
• Integrated management reports provided superior inventory management functionality to increase
transparency throughout business activities
• Automation of critical business processes drastically reduced transaction processing time
• Accurate financial processes improved strategic decision-making capabilities for management
