Global automotive distributor scaling SAP infrastructure and digital delivery centers
Inchcape is a 20,000+ person public automotive distributor operating across 40+ markets, with digital delivery centers anchored in the Philippines and Colombia. The tech stack reflects a major enterprise transition: heavy SAP deployment (FICO, UI5, BTP, ABAP on HANA) paired with active S/4HANA migration and RPA adoption, while maintaining legacy ECC 6.0 environments—a multi-year modernization spanning finance operations, supply chain, and logistics. Engineering hiring (9 roles) outpaces finance (4) and security (3), matching their focus on SAP implementations, MLOps playbooks, and analytics-as-a-service rollout.
Inchcape is the world's largest independent automotive distributor, supplying vehicles and parts to dealership networks and mobility operators in over 40 countries. The company operates through regional distribution centers and digital delivery hubs, with major infrastructure in the Philippines supporting global technology initiatives. Their platform integrates SAP (financials, supply-chain planning, procure-to-pay), Salesforce (customer engagement), cloud orchestration (AWS, Azure, OpenShift, Kubernetes), and emerging data/AI layers (Databricks, Spark, MLOps). Current work centers on migrating legacy ECC 6.0 systems to S/4HANA, rolling out RPA for finance and logistics processes, and building analytics-as-a-service capabilities across the distributor network.
Inchcape runs SAP (FICO, UI5, BTP, ABAP on HANA), Salesforce, AWS, Azure, OpenShift, Kubernetes, Databricks, Spark, with CI/CD via Jenkins, version control (Git), and procurement tools (Coupa, Basware). Currently adopting S/4HANA and RPA.
Core projects include S/4HANA migration, SAP FICO integration, MLOps playbook development, analytics-as-a-service implementation, RPA deployment, and annual cyber roadmap execution.
