Maxport Officially Goes Live with SAP S/4HANA for Fashion Management, Implemented by TDI APJ

Hanoi, September 30, 2025 – Maxport Limited, one of Vietnam’s leading manufacturers of premium sportswear, has officially gone live with the SAP S/4HANA for Fashion Management system. This marks a major milestone in Maxport’s digital transformation journey, with TDI APJ as its trusted partner for SAP solution delivery and implementation.

Overcoming Challenges Together

The SAP S/4HANA project between Maxport and TDI APJ first began in 2019. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and various challenges, the project was temporarily put on hold. Throughout this period, both TDI APJ and Maxport remained committed to overcoming obstacles together.

In May 2024, both parties decided to restart the project, marking the revitalization of their collaboration. Bringing the project back on track and now going live represents a meaningful milestone in Maxport’s digital transformation journey.

 

SAP S/4HANA for Fashion Management – A Strategic Solution for the Fashion Industry

The fashion industry is highly complex, characterized by massive product data, short life cycles, and continuous seasonal changes. Managing the Bill of Materials (BOM) — including fabrics, threads, zippers, labels, and packaging — also presents major challenges.

SAP S/4HANA for Fashion Management addresses these complexities through structured, automated processes that help Maxport enhance efficiency, accuracy, and compliance with international standards.

At Maxport, the Generic Article and Article Variant functionalities have standardized product management across the color–size matrix, reducing data duplication and increasing accuracy throughout the supply chain. The system also digitizes and standardizes BOM management, tightly integrating finance and production to optimize material control, production planning, and cost calculation.

In particular, the Season & Collection Management feature enables Maxport to manage orders and production schedules by season and collection, ensuring alignment with global product launch timelines.

 

Sustainable Growth and Global Compliance

The go-live of SAP S/4HANA for Fashion Management at Maxport marks not only a technical milestone but also a strategic step toward sustainable growth. The system brings financial transparency, strengthens control over legal, tax, and audit risks, and ensures strict compliance with international standards across the fashion supply chain.

More importantly, the project establishes a foundation for Maxport to optimize material utilization, minimize production waste, and enhance traceability — meeting increasingly stringent requirements related to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance).

This achievement not only reinforces the confidence of global partners but also positions Maxport as a benchmark enterprise in the Asia–Pacific region, showcasing how technology can drive sustainable growth and long-term competitiveness.

Mr. David Tan – Managing Director, TDI APJ Vietnam, shared:

“TDI APJ is among the leading SAP implementation partners in the region, with strong expertise in Retail and Fashion. We are committed to helping our customers accelerate their digital transformation toward a more resilient future through technology.

For Maxport, we are proud to have been part of this journey. Today’s go-live event stands as a testament to the shared perseverance and long-term commitment between both teams to achieve lasting success.”

Mr. Nguyen Le Huy – Director, Corporate Strategy, Maxport Vietnam, shared:

“With increasing competition in the apparel industry and growing demands for product quality, delivery time, and cost efficiency, adopting technology to enhance operational performance has become essential.

At Maxport, we focus on two key directions: investing in modern equipment to improve productivity, and accelerating digitalization through integrated IT systems covering the entire value chain — from product development and manufacturing to human resources and finance.

These systems provide timely and accurate data that empower management to make informed decisions. The SAP S/4HANA project marks a significant upgrade in Maxport’s digital transformation journey, reaffirming the role of ERP as the ‘core system’ — connecting, integrating, and optimizing resources to enhance governance and competitiveness in this new growth phase.”

Mr. Nguyen Hong Viet – Managing Director, SAP Vietnam, shared:

“It has been an emotional and rewarding journey. Although SAP has successfully implemented hundreds of projects in Vietnam, each project carries its own unique story. As the bridge between the project team and SAP Global, our mission is to ensure that every customer who chooses SAP receives the highest quality of implementation and our unwavering commitment.

This journey is truly admirable – both our partner and the customer have remained steadfast, overcoming changes and challenges to reach this milestone together. I am proud and deeply appreciative of such enduring collaboration. My sincere thanks to Maxport for your strategic trust, and to TDI APJ for your partnership and professionalism. I believe this will be the solid foundation for us to continue achieving even greater goals together.”
