Case Study: Wilmar Sugar Mills reduces SAP database footprint by 30% and boosts AP & Plant Maintenance efficiency with Gimmal

AP and Plant Maintenance in SAP with SharePoint

Wilmar Sugar Mills, part of the Wilmar group, faced high legacy ECM costs, a bloated SAP database, and inefficient Accounts Payable and Plant Maintenance processes. To address these challenges they engaged Gimmal, deploying Gimmal Link together with a SharePoint content repository to provide a controlled, lower-cost document store.

Gimmal implemented Gimmal Link to move invoice and maintenance documents into SharePoint, re-linking them to SAP transactions and enabling retirement of a costly OpenText archive. The project migrated over 1M documents, cut the SAP database footprint by about 30%, reduced storage and maintenance costs, improved AP cash management, and streamlined plant maintenance workflows—delivering measurable cost savings and productivity gains with Gimmal’s solution.
