The leading transformer manufacturing company in Vietnam, EEMC, partners with FPT to implement an ERP system
Recently, the Dong Anh Electrical Equipment Corporation (EEMC) and FPT IS, a member unit of the FPT Corporation, officially implemented the SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system after just 10 months of deployment, marking an important step in their digital transformation journey. The project not only helps EEMC – a leading company in transformer manufacturing – improve management efficiency and optimize production processes, but also serves as a foundation for its strategy to expand into international markets, contributing to the realization of its sustainable development goals.

Specifically, after just 10 months of implementation, the SAP S/4HANA system has officially gone live at the parent company and two subsidiaries, covering nearly 130 complex business processes, including finance, production, maintenance management, and intelligent reporting. Departments and units can now connect and seamlessly share data on a unified platform. Leveraging standard reports from the system allows the executive team to make quick and accurate decisions, while also reducing paper usage and optimizing administrative time. These results not only fully meet the initial objectives but also lay the foundation for EEMC to realize its strategy for expansion and enhance its competitiveness in the international market.
The project is a clear demonstration of the effective collaboration between EEMC and FPT, with a comprehensive implementation covering 9 modules: Financial Accounting (FI), Management Accounting (CO), Purchasing and Inventory (MM), Production (PP), Sales and Distribution (SD), Financial Consolidation (GR), Maintenance Management (PM), Quality Management (QM), Intelligent Reporting System (SAC), as well as eInvoice and QR code integration. The system is also designed to be open, ready to integrate new technologies in the future, enabling EEMC to not only optimize current operations but also enhance its ability to adapt to the global digital transformation trend.
In the context of the constantly changing global economy, innovation and technology adoption are key factors for businesses to enhance their competitiveness. The implementation of the SAP S/4HANA system is a strategic, proactive step that clearly reflects EEMC’s long-term vision, which not only aligns with the trends of integration and modernization but also harmonizes with the nation’s overall development direction as it enters a new era—a prosperous and thriving era.
The market today is opening up many valuable opportunities, thanks to the combination of investment-attractive policies, abundant human resources, and an expanding consumer market. In particular, the Vietnam National Energy Development Strategy to 2030, with a vision toward 2045, approved by the Prime Minister, is playing a crucial role in driving the energy industry forward. Along with this, the rapidly growing electricity consumption, in parallel with economic development, is creating favorable conditions for businesses in the industry to break through. Notably, Article 8 of the newly passed Electricity Law focuses on supporting domestic electricity companies, offering significant opportunities for enterprises such as the EEMC to develop and expand their competitiveness in the international market.
Mr. Nguyen Vu Cuong – CEO of EEMC gave a speech at the event.
“The SAP S/4HANA system has marked a turning point in EEMC’s journey of innovation. In a short time after implementation, EEMC has seen many positive results, especially in budget management, production management, and promoting a data-driven culture by using data and reports on the SAP system for internal meetings. The system brings optimization in time and resource management and governance, while also paving the way for EEMC to be ready to scale operations, boost exports, and enhance our competitiveness in the international market in the near future,” said Mr. Nguyen Vu Cuong, CEO of EEMC.
Sharing more about the project, Mr. Nguyen Hai Quan, Deputy CEO of EEMC, affirmed that it is not merely a system. The implementation of the SAP S/4HANA enterprise resource planning solution has created an ideal environment for EEMC to standardize management according to international standards, improve operational processes, enhance transparency, tighten control over management activities, and continue to develop and apply other advanced technologies in the future.
Mr. Nguyen Hoang Minh – CEO of FPT IS, FPT Corporation, gave a speech at the event.
On behalf of FPT, Mr. Nguyen Hoang Minh, CEO of FPT IS, FPT Corporation, expressed: “We are honored to accompany EEMC – a leading unit in the design and manufacture of transformers and electrical equipment for the national power grid – in this important digital transformation project. Implementing the SAP S/4HANA project within months is an enormous challenge not only for Vietnamese businesses but also for international ones. However, with a determined spirit, strong support and close guidance from the executive board, as well as the relentless effort of the entire project team, we have succeeded.”
According to Mr. Nguyen Hoang Minh, the ERP system that EEMC has just completed implementing can be likened to the heart of the enterprise, serving as a solid foundation for efficient operation and sustainable development. Now that the foundation is in place, FPT looks forward to continuing to accompany EEMC in strategic projects, not only expanding modules and integrating the ERP system more deeply, such as connecting SAP with banks, but also implementing the production scheduling software akaMES, upgrading infrastructure, and enhancing security and information safety in the second phase. With its experience and exceptional capabilities, FPT is committed to partnering with EEMC to realize its strategic vision and break through, creating new achievements in the era of the nation’s rise.
Mr. Nguyen Hong Viet, Managing Director of SAP Vietnam, extended his congratulations on the success of the project and expressed his appreciation for the efforts of both EEMC and FPT.
According to Mr. Nguyen Hong Viet, Managing Director of SAP Vietnam, the SAP S/4HANA system will not only achieve initial results but will also bring many practical benefits, such as improving management efficiency, enhancing production processes, and strengthening competitiveness in the context of global digital transformation, particularly aligning with EEMC’s export expansion strategy. “SAP is committed to always accompanying and supporting Vietnamese businesses like EEMC on their digital transformation journey,” Mr. Viet shared.
To date, with over three decades of experience and a team of highly skilled professionals, FPT has partnered with Vietnamese businesses to implement numerous ERP projects. Notable examples include streamlining all processes and operations of Coteccons within 100 days, pioneering digital transformation in agriculture with Tân Long, digitizing over 200 standardized processes to solve labor efficiency challenges with Boston Pharma, and enhancing management operations while accelerating growth to achieve green transportation goals with Dat Bike, etc.
Founded in 1971, the Dong Anh Electrical Equipment Corporation (EEMC), formerly the Dong Anh Electrical Equipment Repair Factory and the Dong Anh Electrical Equipment Manufacturing Company, has a longstanding tradition and extensive experience in designing and manufacturing transformers, as well as providing and repairing electrical equipment for the national power grid.
Over its 52 years of establishment and development, EEMC has consistently been a pioneer in the production of transformers and advanced electrical equipment in Vietnam. The corporation has made significant contributions to the country, notably through the successful production of the three-phase 500kV-467MVA power transformer, the largest ultra-high voltage transformer in Vietnam’s hydropower system. This product was entirely designed and manufactured by a team of local engineers, representing a major breakthrough that has been widely recognized for reducing Vietnam’s reliance on imports and enhancing its competitiveness in the international market. Localizing this equipment has also reduced production costs by 15–20% compared to previous practices.
