Transforming our operations: Clorox completes ERP rollout across US and Canada
By Steve Keil, Director – Program Management
We recently completed the full rollout of our new SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP) system across the United States and Canada — a major milestone in our digital transformation.
This is the culmination of a 5-year, $580 million investment to transform our digital capabilities. The new ERP system enhances nearly every corner of our operations, from how we manage orders and our manufacturing facilities, to how we engage suppliers.
Why it matters
This is more than just a technology upgrade – it’s a new foundation for how we will operate, make decisions and collaborate for years to come. Teams across Finance, Supply Chain and Sales now share integrated, real-time data to make faster, more informed decisions and get closer to our consumers. By replacing a 20-year-old legacy ERP system with a modern, cloud-based system, we are increasing efficiency across the company.
What to know
Consistent with our strategy, our new ERP capabilities are enabling us to reimagine how we work and drive growth:
- Real-time, consistent data provides better visibility for teammates across Finance, Supply Chain and Sales.
- Integrated ways of working replace formerly siloed, manual processes across teams and locations.
- Improved demand planning enhances production efficiency based on real-time customer needs.
- Enhanced supplier collaboration strengthens reliability and responsiveness across the supply chain.

This milestone reflects the commitment, expertise and persistence of thousands of Clorox teammates and partners across the U.S. and Canada.

What’s next

This new ERP system is essentially our digital backbone to accelerate growth and is the foundation for a stronger, more resilient Clorox.
