A Chip Design House (Confidential)

To protect the client's privacy, this case withholds the name and identifying details; only industry and solution are shared.

This is an emerging semiconductor-solutions supplier, providing customers with product solutions for power devices, industrial control and automotive electronics, with teams across two provinces.

Chip-design companies typically run a fabless model: from wafer purchasing through testing, packaging, programming and tube-loading, they rely heavily on outsourced processing. Those processing charges are scattered and hard to collect, and month-end cost accounting puts a real test on granularity. Using SAP Business One on HANA, MTC connected the sales, procurement, inventory and finance data flows into a closed loop, and added a month-end weighted-cost accounting scheme that brings outsourced-processing costs into fixed-asset, general-ledger and cost accounting, so costs are calculated in fine detail and seen transparently.
