Case Study: Boskalis achieves full process transparency and faster P2P invoicing with Celonis Process Mining

Understanding the Reality and Impact of Process Deviations

Boskalis, an international maritime infrastructure service provider with around 11,700 employees, faced limited end-to-end visibility of its Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) and invoicing processes—relying on fragmented data warehouse extracts and Excel made analyzing lead times and process deviations nearly impossible. In 2016 Boskalis piloted and adopted Celonis Process Mining to gain clear, data-driven transparency into its operational processes.

Celonis connected InforLN, Basware and SAP P2P/SIM data using standard extraction queries, delivering easy-to-use dashboards within weeks and daily monitoring of invoices and projects. As a result, Celonis gave Boskalis near–real-time transparency (reported as 100% transparency), enabled faster reporting and daily control, reduced invoicing lead times, improved PO compliance and cut process variation—producing measurable short‑term throughput improvements across divisions.
