In today’s dynamic market, refineries face the challenge of increasing operational efficiency while managing costs and maintaining compliance. The integration of SAP S/4HANA Cloud is a game-changer for the industry, offering a suite of benefits that are too compelling to overlook.
A Revolution in Financial Management
For financial leaders, time is of the essence, especially when closing monthly accounts. SAP S/4HANA Cloud has been shown to cut this time by an astounding 50%, enabling finance departments to expedite critical processes. This acceleration is made possible through streamlined workflows and automated processes that significantly reduce manual effort and the potential for error. By managing 1.5 times more payment transactions without increasing employee headcount, SAP S/4HANA Cloud turns efficiency into a strategic advantage.
Manufacturing: Precision and Pace
On the manufacturing side, the industry benefits from the 100% traceable production from raw materials to finished parts that SAP S/4HANA Cloud enables. This level of traceability is not just about quality and compliance, but also about efficiency. The improvement in on-time completion rates to more than 95% speaks volumes about the capability of SAP’s public cloud to enhance productivity. Moreover, this increased efficiency is achieved without compromising precision – a critical consideration in the refinery sector.
Supply Chain and Sales: The Ripple Effect of Efficiency
The ripple effects of efficiency extend into the supply chain, with 97% of deliveries made on-time, a significant improvement from the previous 90%. This boosts customer satisfaction and strengthens the supply chain resilience, ensuring that refinery operations can meet market demands with agility.
Sales departments also reap the benefits of improved operational capacity, witnessing a seven-fold increase in order processing capacity. This capacity increase, alongside a 20% rise in service revenue from new business models, indicates that SAP S/4HANA Cloud is not only about improving existing processes but also about enabling new ways of doing business.
