EMEA deferred. H1 2027 target.
The cascade is on the record.
Tennant disclosed that the North America SAP go-live was November 2025 and that the recovery target is H1 2027 — approximately 18 months later. In the interim, Tennant disclosed that the EMEA deployment has been deferred beyond 2026. That is the deferral cascade: the initial disruption pulled forward the remediation timeline, which pulled forward the EMEA deployment, which pulls forward every region that follows. The window between disruption and recovery is 3 to 8 months from October 2026. The parallel layer operates inside that window without changing Tennant's stated timeline.
Tennant's stated recovery target is H1 2027. From October 2026 that is a 3 to 8 month window. The parallel layer operates inside the window — it does not extend or shorten Tennant's stated timeline.

The North America SAP go-live disrupts order-to-cash.
Tennant's North America SAP implementation went live in November 2025. It immediately disrupted order entry, shipping, and service capability. The system was "not providing correct demand signals to suppliers." Manual oversight and manual purchase orders were deployed as interim workarounds. This is stage one of the cascade — every downstream effect traces back to this event.

Four numbers that define the delay.
Four numbers describe the delay record: 18 months from go-live to recovery target, 3-8 months remaining in the window, one region deferred, and one year of disclosed EMEA slip.
Wait the window out.
Or close the window.
The window is the same either way. The question is whether Tennant carries the operational cost of the wait — manual POs, incorrect signals, order-to-cash disruption — or whether the parallel layer absorbs that cost while SAP remediation proceeds.
Wait the Window Out
Current Path- Manual POs continue through the full window
- Incorrect signals to suppliers
- Order-to-cash disruption continues
- EMEA stays on legacy systems
- Cost compounds month over month
- Timeline unchanged — H1 2027
Close the Window
Activate Path- Manual POs return to zero inside the window
- Signals recomputed from live orders
- Order-to-cash closes normally
- EMEA de-risked for future activation
- Cost flattens on activation
- Timeline unchanged — H1 2027
