Betterware outsources SAP to Computacenter

Founded in 1928, Betterware is one of the largest direct sellers of house wares in the UK. Its product range includes a wide range of household and cleaning products, which are sold through a network of around 6,000 self-employed sales agents. Its retail sales are around £70 million and it has over 200 employees.

Betterware, one of the largest direct sellers of house wares in the UK, has selected Computacenter to host its SAP infrastructure. Computacenter has been able to offer Betterware a complete end-to-end solution, and is also responsible for providing and managing the communication links between Betterware and itself.

Computacenter will be hosting and managing the infrastructure on which Betterware's Birmingham head office SAP implementation is running, and is providing the low-level administration of that system. The hosting infrastructure is split across two of Computacenter's datacenters, to provide disaster contingency facilities.

"We're delighted to be replacing Betterware's incumbent SAP hosting provider," said Mark Howling, Director of Managed Services at Computacenter. "Our SAP hosting business is going from strength to strength, and Betterware is exactly the kind of mid-market business that we can help most effectively."

Betterware uses SAP for many of its business processes, including processing its large volume of weekly orders, producing financial account statements, managing its suppliers orders and payments and controlling and monitoring stock levels.
