Case Study: DRÄXLMAIER Group eliminates execution gaps across Accounts Payable and Purchase-to-Pay with Celonis

DRÄXLMAIER executes perfectly with Celonis

Dräxlmaier Group, a premium automotive supplier with over 75,000 employees at 60 locations in 20 countries, faced execution gaps and inefficiencies across its Accounts Payable and Purchase‑to‑Pay (P2P) workflows. To detect and eliminate these gaps in their global SAP ERP and SRM systems, the company engaged Celonis and deployed the Celonis Execution Management System (EMS), including Process Mining, AI and automation capabilities.

Using Celonis EMS, Dräxlmaier Group identified bottlenecks (like unnecessary printed orders), moved order dispatch to e‑mail/EDI, applied RPA to update price master data, and used real‑time next‑best‑action recommendations to prioritize invoices and manage master data. Celonis helped cut manual processes by tens of thousands worldwide, avoided several thousand manual invoice adjustments, improved cash‑discount capture and working capital, and streamlined AP/P2P operations.
