MSC Industrial Supply Co. Retools to Meet Complex Market Expectations

Today MSC Industrial Supply Co. (MSC) is a successful dot com business built inside of an 80-year-old company that started as a wholesale catalog distributor. Digital moves continue to support MSC’s changing customer landscape and help the business align with new ways of thinking about software. MSC’s Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer Charlie Bonomo says that RISE with SAP is the catalyst “enabling us to dive into the future.”
To deliver on its commitment to its customers and stakeholders, MSC is establishing the synergy and integration it needs on the back-end to provide nimble, scalable, and easy-to-use applications on the front-end.

Ultimately, MSC is setting out to streamline and consolidate the company’s software and bring different applications under one umbrella, leveraging SAP’s expertise and holistic approach to transformation through its RISE with SAP offering.

MSC is running SAP S/4HANA Cloud on Google Cloud Platform and expects to bring its digital transformation full circle at the end of 2022, enabling the business to close faster, gain more intelligence through reporting, and integrate third-party products that support continued innovation.
