Case Study: Cathay Pacific Airways streamlines Finance and Procurement with Capgemini and SAP S/4HANA

Cathay Pacific moves to SAP S/4HANA to streamline its Finance and Procurement functions

Cathay Pacific Airways, the Hong Kong-based international airline, needed to modernize its Finance and Procurement functions and replace legacy systems to better manage a complex global operation. Rising fuel costs, market uncertainty, and the need for stronger ROI made it important to improve cost visibility and decision-making, and it chose Capgemini to help implement SAP S/4HANA.

Capgemini is implementing a customized SAP S/4HANA solution through the Horizon8 program, covering Source-to-Pay, Flight-to-Settle, Finance-to-Manage, and Budget-to-Monitor processes. The result is a revamped global finance and procurement model with driver-based planning, route profitability reporting, better cost collection, and improved handling of procurement across categories such as engineering, fuel, and catering, enabling more transparent and timely business decisions.
