A special day to celebrate a special team: the SAP Super-Users
A team of Garo employees were selected to become SAP Super Users. With the help of consultants, the Super Users were involved in the organization and launch of the new system and processes. The team was also responsible for the system launch and training of all team members.
In recognition to their daily basis efforts, the team of SAP super users received a special reward: a day as pit stop crew in Maranello at the Ferrari Museum. This incredible team-building experience was thought to bring them closer and to repay their commitment in the SAP implementation.
Arrived to the Museum the team discovered the extraordinary history of the Prancing Horse; a world made of engines and people, victories and defeats, passion and excitement. This reality is not so distant from our company. Garo and Ferrari have many things in common; they are both Italian based companies born from the minds of two great entrepreneurs, who were able to specialize and create unique products. Two great companies with over 70 years of experience.
During the pit crew experience, the Super Users put the mechanic overalls on and played the role divided in teams. Around the racing car, they were all ready to set their time records. Hopping on a little bus they were finally guided through the Fiorano Circuit and the Ferrari workshop; a special journey through the heart of Ferrari.
