Supply Chain & Procurement

Improve supply chain financial performance and operational efficiency

A comprehensive SAP Digital Supply Chain solution is a core enabling component to help drive financial performance and operational efficiencies in utilities. Rising wholesale energy supply costs are placing further pressure on cost control within utilities. 


Having such a solution is critical given the ever-changing supply chain landscape at a global scale, driving higher costs and longer lead times. It has never been more important to have a fully integrated solution that provides improvements across real time visibilitysourcing options, collaboration between OEM’s and service providers, regulatory compliance, asset management and ultimately reduced risk to the business. 


Increased digitization of back office operations can help drive benefits for the customers through reliable service and for the utility through more efficient operations.
